What If Robots Had Muscles Instead of Motors? MIT’s Fiber Actuators The field of soft robotics has taken a significant leap forward with the development of electrofluidic fiber muscles by researchers at the MIT Media Lab. Traditional robotic actuators depends on bulky external reservoirs, heavy compressors, or noisy pneumatic systems, which limit their mobility and integrations. These new fiber muscles solve this by utilizing thin McKibben actuators driven by… |
