L ipomas, or fatty tumors, are fairly common benign growths in senior dogs. Lipomas are commonly found on breeds such as ...

Researchers have developed a robotic leg with artificial muscles. Inspired by living creatures, it jumps across different terrains in an agile and energy-efficient manner. Inventors and ...

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 ...

As a result, robots lack the adaptability and mobility found in living creatures. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have created a breakthrough: a ...

Even walking robots feature arms and legs that are powered by motors, not by muscles as in humans and animals. This in part suggests why they lack the mobility and adaptability of living creatures. A ...

Researchers announced on Monday, Sept. 9, the first ever robotic leg powered by artificial muscles. The Swiss-led team said it became inspired to create the new technology from the 600 muscles in the ...

While conventional robotic legs are driven by an electromagnetic rotary motor (left), for their musculoskeletal system the researchers use electrohydraulic actuators, i.e. artificial muscles (right).
