Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then ...

Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. The humanoid integrates synthetic organs ...

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

While we may be impressed by their artificial intelligence, humanoids often have an awkward, clunky gait. Now, experts have ...

Artificial tendons make muscle-powered robots stronger and faster. They can last longer and work in tricky or dangerous places.

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created organic robots that are powered by 3D-printed muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses. These “bio-robots” are the ...

As always with these kind of anthropomorphic robots: Why? The human form is the result of evolution, a messy, unguided, inefficient process. There's no reason to replicate such a configuration. Even ...

As I’m typing these words, I don’t think about the synchronized muscle contractions that allow my fingers to dance across the keyboard. Or the back muscles that unconsciously tighten to hold myself ...

Researchers from Harvard University have built a miniature robotic stingray that straddles the line between organic and synthetic. As a bio-hybrid, the soft robot is fueled by light-activated heart ...

Rather than pushing a futuristic, machine-forward aesthetic, XPENG leans into recognisable visual cues such as body shape, ...

A humanoid robot has reached new depths of the uncanny valley with its smooth, humanlike movements. Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, Xpeng, revealed its latest robot dubbed the Xpeng IRON, at an ...

It's not clear that anyone was asking for a company to build a muscular, sinewy robot or to see a video of it dangling, helpless from a hook, but life is full of ...
