Engineers at Harvard have developed a 3D printing technique that produces soft robotic structures capable of twisting and bending in predictable patterns when inflated with air. The method, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

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 ...

New Harvard 3D printing technique builds twistable, bendable robotic muscles in a single print with programmed movement logic ...

Chinese EV maker Xpeng’s humanoid robot Iron fell face-first after losing balance during a recent choreographed stage walk at a shopping mall in Shenzhen.

A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

China’s humanoid robot Bolt hit 10 m/s (22.4 mph), tripling the 4 m/s record, showing what faster leg design can achieve.

With the TROT robot, researchers can compare evolutionary changes in quadrupeds. The robot is open source and can be ...
