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 ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

Almost half of our attention during face-to-face conversation focuses on lip motion. Yet, robots still struggle to move their ...

Warehouse work is intense, repetitive and physically demanding. Kinisi Robotics, a U.S.-based startup, wants to change that. Its newest innovation, the Kinisi 01, also known as KR1, is a powerful ...

To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

Humans pay enormous attention to lips during conversation, and robots have struggled badly to keep up. A new robot developed ...

Researchers at The Grainger College of Engineering are developing biohybrid robots, mimicking muscles to better understand ...

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