We've been hearing a lot about "artificial muscles," which allow robotic devices or prosthetic limbs to perform human-like motions. And while most of them have been produced in labs utilizing ...

(Nanowerk News) Artificial pneumatic muscles consisting of 3D-printed structures that can extend and contract as required: this is the innovative design of the GRACE actuators devised by researchers ...

(Nanowerk News) To make robots more cooperative and have them perform tasks in close proximity to humans, they must be softer and safer. A new actuator developed by a team led by George Whitesides, Ph ...

To make robots more cooperative and have them perform tasks in close proximity to humans, they must be softer and safer. A new actuator generates movements similar to those of skeletal muscles using ...

I've been doing a bit of research in robotic, and IMHO, one of the biggest limitation of most robotic actuators (servos, stepper motors, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc.) is that they don't act like ...

Despite what we may have seen in the new Winnie the Pooh movie, our cherished plush toys don’t usually come to life. But if that’s the goal, we have ways of making it happen. Like these “robotic skins ...

Say “thank you” to a pneumatic actuator next time you enjoy a craft beer. Or eat a watermelon. Or open a can of paint. Or interact with any of a number of objects, from cars to pills, in your daily ...
