Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new way to make lab-grown muscles stronger by letting them train themselves, removing a major limitation in biohybrid robotics. The ...

As always with these kind of anthropomorphic robots: Why? The human form is the result of evolution, a messy, unguided, inefficient process. There's no reason to replicate such a configuration. Even ...

In a groundbreaking move, experts have developed a robot with astonishingly lifelike movements – thanks to synthetic muscles beneath translucent skin. Polish startup Clone Robotics has shared a ...

The latest viral clip of a faceless android twitching under its own power has pushed humanoid robotics into a new, unsettling register. Instead of a metal frame in a lab, viewers are watching ...

NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, with no external stimulation required. By mechanically coupling two muscle ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created organic robots that are powered by 3D-printed muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses. These “bio-robots” are the ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Our muscles are nature’s actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate “biohybrid robots” made ...
