Smart implants at Hannover Messe: How robotic micro-actuators are enhancing bone healing

Researchers at Saarland University are developing smart implants that can continuously monitor and visualize the healing process of fractures. These customized implants can dynamically adapt to the healing process by becoming stiffer or more compliant as required, promoting bone regeneration through micromechanical stimulation.

A new twist on artificial ‘muscles’ for safer, softer robots

Researchers at Northwestern University developed a new soft actuator that enables robots to move by expanding and contracting like human muscles. The device was used to create a cylindrical, worm-like robot and an artificial bicep, demonstrating its potential for safer and more practical applications.
