Robotics makers have faced the persistent challenge of making machines that function in the same way that humans do — earlier this month, Boston Dynamics revealed a robot that could backflip. But even ...

The boundary between living tissue and machine is blurring in MIT laboratories. Engineers there have developed a bio-inspired ...

But MIT’s new muscle-tendon system changes that equation by bridging muscle to skeleton more efficiently. And the numbers ...

MIT's new hydrogel tendons strengthen muscle-powered robots, achieving 11x higher power-to-weight ratio and improved force ...

Scientists have been working for years to create robots powered by living muscle tissue. These biohybrid robots combine ...

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 ...

Assuming that the price of Tiffen’s soon-to-be-released Smoothee iPhone Steadicam would be beyond his budget, Babyology writer Ben Gurnsberg built this amazing iPhone steadicam robotic arm out of ...

Meet Pleurobot, a bio-inspired robot whose life-like movement looks exactly like that of a salamander. This is no hyperbole, you'll have to see for yourself to believe. Constructed by ingenious team ...

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the ...
