Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world ...

Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. The humanoid integrates synthetic organs ...

While we may be impressed by their artificial intelligence, humanoids often have an awkward, clunky gait. Now, experts have developed a robot with astonishingly lifelike movements – thanks to ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

MIT engineers developed artificial tendons that could connect robotic skeletons and biological muscle tissue. Made from tough and flexible hydrogel, the tendons could be used in various bio-hybrid ...

As always with these kind of anthropomorphic robots: Why? The human form is the result of evolution, a messy, unguided, inefficient process. There's no reason to replicate such a configuration. Even ...

Researchers from Harvard University have built a miniature robotic stingray that straddles the line between organic and synthetic. As a bio-hybrid, the soft robot is fueled by light-activated heart ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

It's not clear that anyone was asking for a company to build a muscular, sinewy robot or to see a video of it dangling, helpless from a hook, but life is full of surprises and this YouTube video of ...

When people think of high-powered machines, they'd likely think of muscle cars before their own muscles. But muscles and ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created organic robots that are powered by 3D-printed muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses. These “bio-robots” are the ...

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 ...
