South Korean scientists create ultra-thin fabric muscles that turn clothes into robotic assistants, lifting 33 pounds while ...

“Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji ...

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

When the Next-Gen Iron humanoid was unveiled to the public earlier this month, strutting fluidly down the runway before a ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater. Typical ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

What if a robot could show us how the brain keeps us balanced? UBC scientists built one—and their discovery could help shape ...
