Researchers at UNIST in South Korea developed a magnetically controlled artificial muscle made of a dual cross-linked shape-memory polymer that can switch between soft and stiff states, lift over 4,000 times its weight, and perform large, reversible strains, promising advancements in soft robotics and medical devices.
Researchers have developed an artificial muscle device using ionic polymer technology that can produce a force 34 times greater than its weight while operating at ultra-low power. This fluid switch, made of metal electrodes and ionic polymers, can control fluid flow in narrow spaces and is expected to have applications in soft robotics, medical devices, and wearable technology. The technology has the potential to be used in various industrial settings and small electronic systems in daily life.
