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 ...

A new development from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in South Korea could advance the field of soft robotics. The team successfully created a novel artificial muscle ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a world first, China has taken further strides in showcasing its prowess in robotics and artificial intelligence after a ...

A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

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 team led by Northwestern University’s Sam Kriegman built an AI system that designed a walking robot from scratch in seconds, then manufactured the result and watched it move across a lab bench. The ...

A few short months ago, almost every robot made by the hundreds of companies working on humanoid robots could charitably be described as slow, topping out at around three mph. Walking was on the edge ...
