Few things make the career jump from regional cuisine delicacy to robotics actuator. Yet, in research vaguely reminiscent of ...

Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate "biohybrid robots" made ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The ...

SHENYANG, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have built a tiny robot that swims like a manta ray -- a large, flat fish that glides through the ocean with wing-like fins -- and it is powered by ...

SINGAPORE, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking ...

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 ...

Researchers built a light-controlled biohybrid manta ray powered by intact frog muscle, achieving fast swimming, tight turns and untethered control in water. (Nanowerk Spotlight) We tend to picture ...

A new robotic breakthrough out of South Korea may soon turn your clothes into assistive tech. Researchers have found a way to mass-produce ultra-thin "fabric muscles" that can flex and lift like human ...
