New twist on artificial muscles [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Lightweight artificial muscle fibers that can match the large tensile stroke of natural muscles have been elusive. In particular, low stroke, limited cycle life, and inefficient energy conversion have combined with high cost and hysteretic performance to restrict practical use. In recent years, a new class of artificial muscles, based on highly twisted

Pneumatic Artificial Muscles Based on Biomechanical Characteristics of Human Muscles
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2006 This article reports the pneumatic artificial muscles based on biomechanical characteristics of human muscles. A wearable device and a rehabilitation robot that assist a human muscle should have characteristics similar to those of human muscle.

Science, 2019 Getting the most out of muscles Materials that convert electrical, chemical, or thermal energy into a shape change can be used to form artificial muscles. Such materials include bimetallic strips or host-guest materials or coiled fibers or yarns (see the Perspective by Tawfick and Tang).
