Christoph Keplinger: The artificial muscles that will power robots of the future (2019x91)

Date de diffusion: Avr 16, 2019

Robot brains are getting smarter and smarter, but their bodies are often still clunky and unwieldy. Mechanical engineer Christoph Keplinger is designing a new generation of soft, agile robot inspired by a masterpiece of evolution: biological muscle. See these "artificial muscles" expand and contract like the real thing and reach superhuman speeds — and learn how they could power prosthetics that are stronger and more efficient than human limbs.
