Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

Clone Robotics has released a new video of its first musculoskeletal android, Protoclone. Touted as the most anatomically accurate robot ever created, Protoclone is built on a natural human skeletal ...

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 ...

A Polish startup, Clone Robotics, has unveiled a lifelike synthetic human prototype. Named Protoclone V1, it boasts over 200 degrees of freedom, 1,000 Myofibers, and 500 sensors, the faceless android ...

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 ...

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 ...

As one reader points out on the comments board of a related Design News article, combining living tissue with mechanical components sounds like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein story written almost 200 ...

Engineers designed modular, spring-like devices to maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid robots. Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices ...

Flying, bug-like bots are becoming more efficient, and you can now refuel in Tibet via an app-controlled, explosion-resistant robot. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Osteoporosis affects approximately 10 million people in the U.S., 80 percent of whom are women, according to the Office on Women’s Health. It causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...
