Engineers in Japan have unveiled an unusual four-legged robot that moves with a smooth, animal-like gait rarely seen in machines. Developed at the Suzumori Endo Robotics Laboratory in Tokyo, the ...

Scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its predecessors ...

A new robotic breakthrough out of South Korea may soon turn your clothes into assistive tech. Researchers have found a way to mass-produce ultra-thin "fabric muscles" that can flex and lift like human ...

Engineers have long tried to build artificial muscles that work like the ones in the human body—strong, flexible, fast, and ...

The next time you’re scrolling your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ...

Hydraulically powered robot actuators are typically noisy. The electrofluidic muscle from MIT Media Lab and Politecnico di Bari, however, operates silently.
