In an advance for soft and wearable robots, researchers from Queen Mary University of London have developed a new type of electric variable-stiffness artificial muscle that possesses self-sensing capabilities.
Researchers from the Queen Mary University of London have achieved significant advances in the field of bionics with the invention of a new form of electric variable-stiffness artificial muscle with self-sensing capabilities, according to a study published recently in Advanced Intelligent Systems.
Physical systems known as “reservoirs” are designed to emulate neural networks and meet the need for improved computational efficiency and speed. Overcoming the previous issues with compatibility, performance, and integration of such reservoir systems, researchers from Japan have recently developed an ion-gating transistor with improved reservoir states and short-term memory capabilities based on redox reactions.…
A drone that can function in burning buildings or woodland has been developed by researchers from Imperial College London and Empa, the Swiss National Laboratory for Material Science and Technology.
