Northwestern University engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting — just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator , the researchers used it to create a cylindrical, worm-like soft robot and an artificial bicep.

Artificial muscles are powering a new robotic leg developed by researchers at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS). Inspired by living creatures, the robotic leg jumps across different terrains in an agile and energy-efficient manner. Register now. It’s no different with living creatures.

This could lead to robots with enhanced human-like sensory capabilities and to more sensitive prostheses, among other technological advances. Yu She, who led the study, says: “Our soft finger can provide high accuracy on proprioception and accurately predict grasped objects.” Proprioception is popularly known as our sixth sense.
