Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The ...

With that in mind, I spoke to personal trainer Kirra Mitlo, who shared a straightforward seven-move dumbbell routine designed to support strength, balance and long-term health.

No matter how regularly you exercise, artificial muscles have long since surpassed their natural counterparts. Now, researchers from the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the ...

Jul 10, 2024 A new twist on artificial muscles for safer, softer robots (Nanowerk News) Northwestern University engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding ...

Researchers developed carbon fiber artificial muscles that are capable of lifting 12,600 times their own weight. These low cost and low weight muscles could revolutionize a number of industries.

Engineers are exploring the field of artificial muscles to invent "smart" devices that can grab and move objects.

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial muscle that’s entirely made out of natural proteins. Responding to changes in its environment allows the muscle to flex on demand, which could ...

Researchers have created origami-inspired artificial muscles that add strength to soft robots, allowing them to lift objects that are up to 1,000 times their own weight using only air or water ...
