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 ...

While we may be impressed by their artificial intelligence, humanoids often have an awkward, clunky gait. Now, experts have ...

Researchers from Harvard University have built a miniature robotic stingray that straddles the line between organic and synthetic. As a bio-hybrid, the soft robot is fueled by light-activated heart ...

Humanoid robots moved far beyond lab demos in 2025. From factory floors and border patrols to lifelike faces, synthetic ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world, engineers have built tiny walkers, swimmers and gripping devices powered ...

Researchers have developed artificial tendons for muscle-powered robots. They attached the rubber band-like tendons (blue) to either end of a small piece of lab-grown muscle (red), forming a ...

As always with these kind of anthropomorphic robots: Why? The human form is the result of evolution, a messy, unguided, inefficient process. There's no reason to replicate such a configuration. Even ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created organic robots that are powered by 3D-printed muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses. These “bio-robots” are the ...

It’s about time for the mechanics inside digital cameras to get a technological overhaul, and a start-up named Artificial Muscle is aiming to do just that with some new actuators. The actuators are ...

Our muscles are nature’s actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate “biohybrid robots” made ...

Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then linked the tendons to a robotic gripper's fingers. (Nanowerk News) Our ...
