New artificial muscle shows 91% recovery, reshapes and heals after damage
Researchers at Seoul National University have developed an artificial muscle that can change shape ...
Researchers in South Korea have developed a soft, reprogrammable artificial muscle that can reshape itself during operation, recover from damage, and be reused. Using a phase-transitional ferrofluid ...

What are silent artificial muscles, and how will they transform the world of robotics?
Silent Artificial Muscles: A team of researchers has developed artificial muscles that function just like human muscles.
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 ...
Hydraulically powered robot actuators are typically noisy. The electrofluidic muscle from MIT Media Lab and Politecnico di Bari, however, operates silently.
Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then linked the tendons to a robotic gripper's fingers. (Nanowerk News) Our ...
