"Artificial Muscle Device Generates 34 Times its Weight in Force, Say Scientists"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Tech Xplore
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.
