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 ...

Why and how the flexible actuators were fabricated. How they were used in an aerial micro-robot. The performance obtained with these actuators. While the electronics for drones and aerial robots of ...

The University of Bristol has created electrostatic actuators that it claims can lift 1,000 times their own weight, contract by 99.8% of their length, and deliver specific energy and specific power ...
