The robots run on a hydraulic system powered by a compact pump, called a “hydraulic heart,” which uses water to move the ...

The inspiration for the design is derived from papillae, a group of tiny muscles used by octopuses to change their movement when the water flow changes. Lamuta’s team created this ability with twisted ...

Scientists bioprint living muscle-tendon units that contract for months, offering promise for robotics, prosthetics, and ...
