US robotics startup Kinsi Robotics released a new video last week showcasing its KR-1 robot folding a towel while explaining and demonstrating how it was trained to perform the task autonomously. The task involved picking up a towel from random positions ...

Researchers at the MIT Media Lab and Italy’s Politecnico di Bari have developed artificial muscle fibers that aim to match the strength, speed, and control of natural muscles without relying on bulky motors or external pumps.

Engineers have long tried to build artificial muscles that work like the ones in the human body—strong, flexible, fast, and easy to control. Now, a team from the MIT Media Lab and Politecnico di Bari in Italy has developed a new type of artificial muscle that comes closer to that goal.

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 surprises and this YouTube video of Clone Robotics' "Protoclone" is here all the same.

Silent Artificial Muscles: A team of researchers has developed artificial muscles that mimic human muscles. These could completely transform the design and operation of robots. Silent Artificial Muscles: These muscles will change the world of robots Silent Artificial Muscles: A lot of work has been done in robotics in the last few years,

H2L, a Tokyo-based technology startup, has launched the Capsule Interface. This breakthrough device lets you control robots with your entire body, transmitting not just movement but also physical force. This technology is poised to transform how humans ...
