Unlike other robots that perform limited functions, KR1 can move, lift and think like a human, only faster and more reliably.

First Robot Leg With ‘Artificial Muscles’ Can Jump, Researchers Say The technology could eventually lead to the creation of humanoid robots designed to assist with household tasks. Robots have been ...

“The robots are made with softer material, softer structure, human-like structure, muscles, so that make our robots super light, super flexible, high environmental resistance, and very safe for ...

Science frequently draws inspiration from the natural world. After all, nature has had billions of years to perfect its systems and processes. Taking their cue from mollusk catch muscles, researchers ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist ...

To create a safer, more practical robot, Professor Ryan Truby and his team developed a soft, flexible actuator that enables robots to move by expanding and contracting—just like a human muscle.

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The ...

Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic. Electro-hydraulic muscles are more energy efficient than motor driven robots.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have engineered a revolutionary bee-inspired robot weighing less than ...

Bees' flight capabilities are quite sophisticated, but strangely, the MIT roboticists ended up building a robot that sported ...
