A muscle from the slug's mouth helps the robot move, which is currently controlled by an external electrical field. Future iterations of the device will include ganglia – bundles of neurons and nerves ...

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 ...

“Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji ...

A new robotic muscle has been invented that exerts tremendous strength, exceeding that of any human’s muscle. This muscle has been proven to be 1,000 times stronger and more effective than that of any ...

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

(Nanowerk News) Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a ...

Today, muscle atrophy is often unavoidable when you can't move due to severe injury, old age or diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, Harvard ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater. Typical ...

Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common: they are ...
