Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers developed a robot powered by living muscle cells that move in response to ...

An octopus can bend one part of an arm around an obstacle while another reaches into a small crevice to grab an object.

An MIT robot powered by a single layer of living muscle cells swam through a watery maze, following a light held in a researcher’s hand. It is slow, tiny and nowhere near ready for the open ocean, but ...

MIT engineers created a paper-thin swimming robot that uses light-controlled living muscle cells to move and steer through ...

According to its developers, the robots skeleton is built on a film of hydrogel that is split in two halves to create the bot ...

Researchers said on Monday they had designed the first robotic leg with "artificial muscles"—oil-filled bags allowing machines to move more like humans—that can jump nimbly across a range of surfaces.

MIT’s tiny robot uses living muscle cells to swim through water, offering a glimpse at how biohybrid machines could power ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S. have developed a paper-thin swimming robot powered by ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic.

Moving through water is often more difficult than moving through air. MIT researchers have created a new Aquabot that is ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

A new robotic breakthrough out of South Korea may soon turn your clothes into assistive tech. Researchers have found a way to mass-produce ultra-thin "fabric muscles" that can flex and lift like human ...
