The robots run on a hydraulic system powered by a compact pump, called a “hydraulic heart,” which uses water to move the ...

This group of 'cockroaches' comes from the College of Engineering at West Lake University, cultivated in the lab of Chair ...

Warehouse work is intense, repetitive and physically demanding. Kinisi Robotics, a U.S.-based startup, wants to change that. Its newest innovation, the Kinisi 01, also known as KR1, is a powerful ...

According to Science and Technology Daily (Reporter Zhang Mengran), a new type of biological hybrid robot has been developed, capable of crawling at different speeds under light stimulation. This ...

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 through ...

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. To ...

F or decades, humanoid robots lived in science fiction and in high-tech labs. That’s changing. Engineers and companies across ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in robotics by designing the first robotic leg equipped with “artificial muscles,” allowing the machine to move more like a human than previously possible. The ...

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 new ...

Researchers have developed octopus-inspired design thatenhances underwater vehicles with less drag and improved ...

University of Texas researches have created a form of “shape memory wire” that expands and contracts when cooled and heated. To make the muscles contract, they coat it in a catalyst that reacts to ...
