Researchers said on Monday they had designed the first robotic leg with "artificial muscles"—oil-filled bags allowing machines to move more like humans—that can jump nimbly across a range of surfaces.

Humanoid robots are evolving faster than most people realize. From artificial muscles and hydraulic limbs to the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic.

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 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 ...

Roboticists have been motivated by a long-standing goal to make robots safer. The new actuator could be used to develop inexpensive, soft, flexible robots which are safer and more practical for ...

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 ...

Prepare to question reality! In this video, we're unveiling six of the most astonishingly lifelike AI robots that blur the ...

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 ...

In the past, muscle-powered robots either moved constantly without clear control or were too weak to respond visibly. Our strengthened skeletal muscle allows the robot to react clearly to an external ...

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 ...
