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

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 ...

“The robots are made with softer material, softer structure, human-like structure, muscles, so that make our robots super light, super flexible, high environmental resistance, and very safe for ...

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 ...

ALLEX is engineered to handle multiple tasks using its ability to respond to stimuli like humans do. It has 15 degrees of ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Now, scientists from MIT CSAIL and Harvard's Wyss Institute have come up with a way to give soft robots some power — by outfitting them with rigid origami skeletons.
