MIT's artificial muscles for soft robots flex like a human iris | This artificial, muscle-powered structure pulls both concentrically and radially, similar to how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil
Elastocaloric cooling – world’s first refrigerator cools by flexing artificial muscles made of nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy. This climate-friendly cooling and heating technology is far more energy-efficient than current methods.
Researchers Develop Gel “Exercise” Mat for Muscle Cells | The vibrating platform could be useful for growing artificial muscles to power soft robots.
