Developed by a research team at POSTECH, the robot uses human muscle proteins as inspiration to generate strong force while navigating through tight spaces. The technology has potential applications in various fields, including medical settings, industrial environments, home cleaning, and caregiving robots.
A new robotic leg powered by artificial muscles can walk, jump, and detect obstacles without complex sensors. Its ability to lift its own weight explosively enables high jumps and fast movements.
A new type of actuator uses springs and clutches to accomplish dynamic movements with a fraction of the energy used by traditional electric motors. The device has been tested in various motion tests and has shown significant power reduction, making it suitable for robots that need to perform complex tasks.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a soft material with metal-like conductivity and self-healing properties that can support digital electronics and motors. The material has been demonstrated in various applications, including powering motors and enabling reconfigurable circuits.
Disney Research has developed a one-legged hopper that runs on battery power, breaking its dependence on off-board power. The robot weighs less than five pounds and can maintain its balance for approximately seven seconds.
