Colorado makes breakthrough soft muscle for soft robots that is cheap, strong and effective

“The University of Colorado has created next generation healing soft muscle actuators. It is inspired by biological muscle. he newly developed hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic (HASEL) actuators eschew the bulky, rigid pistons and motors of conventional robots for soft structures that exceed or match the strength, speed and efficiency of biological muscle. Their versatility may enable artificial muscles for human-like robots and a next generation of prosthetic limbs…”
