Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are working on a new generation of tiny bots inspired by creepy ...

Science frequently draws inspiration from the natural world. After all, nature has had billions of years to perfect its systems and processes. Taking their cue from mollusk catch muscles, researchers ...

Bees' flight capabilities are quite sophisticated, but strangely, the MIT roboticists ended up building a robot that sported ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have engineered a revolutionary bee-inspired robot weighing less than ...

Unlike other robots that perform limited functions, KR1 can move, lift and think like a human, only faster and more reliably.

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 ...

First Robot Leg With ‘Artificial Muscles’ Can Jump, Researchers Say The technology could eventually lead to the creation of humanoid robots designed to assist with household tasks. Robots have been ...

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 ...

Along with the ability to automatically adjust to the surface they’re traversing, the legs move faster and jump higher than their more standardized electric counterparts.

To make the muscles contract, they coat it in a catalyst that reacts to alcohol and begins to heat up. These muscles can be used in robots or in prosthetic limbs.

Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic. Electro-hydraulic muscles are more energy efficient than motor driven robots.

Researchers at ETH Zürich are very good at keeping robots standing upright. Back in 2022, the school’s robotics team taught the quadrupedal ANYmal robot how to hike up mountains without falling ...
