Over the past decades, roboticists have developed increasingly advanced systems that can emulate some human capabilities and effectively tackle various real-world tasks. To reliably grasp, manipulate ...

A robot hand powered by lab-grown muscles is challenging you to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors – do you accept? Here’s hoping you choose rock, because a new remarkable biohybrid has just perfected ...

Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have strengthened lab-grown muscle tissue through self-training on a simple mechanical training platform without any external stimulation, to ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking biohybrid robotic hand that utilizes lab-grown human ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

If you’re going to kill animals for food, don’t waste their parts – that’s just rude. Use everything, snout-to-tail, and not just bones for glue or stomachs for drink-bags, either. Get creative! And ...

Czech playwright Karel Capek coined the word “robot” in his seminal 1920 work, “Rossum’s Universal Robots.” In this dark piece of sci-fi, the term described flesh-and-blood laborers made from organic ...

NUS scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater. Typical ...

(A) A user wears the EMG-driven EVF-robot. (B) The application on a smartphone serving as a user interface. (C) The pneumatic fingers embedded in an elastic textile glove. The electro-vibro-feedback ...
