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

From expressive robot faces to factory deployments, these seven stories shaped how 2025 will be remembered in humanoid ...

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 ...

MIT engineers develop artificial hydrogel tendons to enhance strength, speed, and durability in biohybrid robotic system ...

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 ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

When people think of high-powered machines, they'd likely think of muscle cars before their own muscles. But muscles and ...

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 ...

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion.

Micro-jumping robots offer unique advantages in scenarios such as confined space exploration and post-disaster search and rescue. However, ...
