Sheath-run artificial muscles

Science, 2019
Although guest-filled carbon nanotube yarns provide record performance as torsional and tensile artificialmuscles, they are expensive, and only part of themuscle effectively contributes to actuation.We describe a muscle type that provides higher ...

Artificial Muscles Powered by Glucose [PDF]

Advanced Materials, 2019
AbstractUntethered actuation is important for robotic devices to achieve autonomous motion, which is typically enabled by using batteries. Using enzymes to provide the required electrical charge is particularly interesting as it will enable direct harvesting of fuel components from a surrounding fluid. Here, a soft artificial muscle is presented, which
