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
Hyperelastic rubber soft robots mimic mantis shrimp-level punch, flea-like leaps | A flexible joint releases stored energy under compression, enabling strong, repetitive motions with a simple tendon-motor setup.
Stretchable electronics for soft robots to allow embedded computation
Meet the soft robots that can amputate limbs and fuse with other robots
Exposure to soft robots decreases human fears about working with them
Researchers Develop Gel “Exercise” Mat for Muscle Cells | The vibrating platform could be useful for growing artificial muscles to power soft robots.
