Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than ...

The human body moves through a coordinated effort of skeletal muscles, working in concert to generate force. While some muscles align in a single direction, others form intricate patterns, enabling ...

Scientists at MIT have created a new kind of artificial muscle that can flex and move in multiple directions, much like real muscles in the human body. This breakthrough could lead to soft, flexible ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – ...

A team of MIT researchers recently created the first synthetic muscle actuator that can flex in multiple directions. This study opens the door for more capable soft robots and other advanced medical ...

"With the iris design, we believe we have demonstrated the first skeletal muscle-powered robot that generates force in more than one direction. That was uniquely enabled by this stamp approach," says ...

MIT engineers 3D print multidirectional muscle tissue that flexes like the human iris - opening new paths for biohybrid ...
