New robot ‘muscles’ are strong enough to lift a baseball—and nimble enough to pluck a raspberry
By Robert F. ServiceJan. 4, 2018 , 3:00 PM
Robots are wielding a new kind of soft power. Researchers have outfitted them with a new class of muscles, which—like our own—offer both strength and sensitivity. By not overpowering and damaging the objects they’re manipulating, the muscles could one day help a new generation of soft robots perform delicate tasks—everything from picking fruit to assisting elderly people.
