South Korean researchers develop fabric muscles for lightweight wearable robots that move naturally with the human body.

“Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji ...

This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 ...

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

An automated system that weaves ultra-thin “fabric muscles” capable of powering wearable robots like everyday ...

When robots are built with biological materials, they have the potential to achieve remarkable behaviors typically only seen ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Many of my physiologic systems replicated somebody who's 20 or 30 years older than me.” Now there may be a solution: robot ...

A new humanoid robot has stunned audiences with its eerie realism to the point where many refused to believe it was actually a machine.

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a ...

Humanoid robots will generate 80% of Tesla’s total revenue: In social media posts and internal meetings, Musk claimed that ...
