The soft robot seconds change "Hercules", the new artificial muscle can lift thousands of weight objects

In the field of robotics, software robots are a relatively new concept. They are still in the state of initial research, and there are still huge deficiencies in terms of technology and experience. The biggest feature of software robots is softness, which can be soft body. Software robots also have a special feature. They use artificial muscles (such as polymer materials that are activated by electrical stimulation) instead of traditional power motors. Or use the temperature change, air drive, etc. to get the power.

With the development of robots, some related technologies have also accelerated the pace of upgrading. According to the latest news, the US research team has developed a new type of artificial muscle that allows the robot to lift objects that are more than a thousand times their weight.

According to reports, a report published in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on the 27th said that the American research team was inspired by origami art to develop a new type of artificial muscle that can make the robot become a "powerful" and can lift its own weight. Thousands of times more objects.

Researchers say that advances in this type of research can help the software robotics industry to take a big step forward, and it is expected to replace old-fashioned robots that are less secure and inflexible.

According to the report, the artificial muscle consists of a layer of sealed "skin" material wrapped in "skeleton" filled with fluid such as air or water. Its "skeleton" is inspired by the art of origami and is designed with a folded structure.

Ruth, a senior author of the report and a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said: "This new invention seems to give super power to robots." The first author of the report, Harvard University and MIT postdoctoral researcher Li Shuguang also said. "This type of new artificial muscle can produce tremendous strength and can lift objects that are more than 1000 times their weight, which is equivalent to an adult lifting one SUV with one arm."

In the experiment, the researchers used an artificial muscle weighing only 2.6 grams to lift a three-kilogram object.

According to the report, another advantage of artificial muscle is that it is extremely stretchable and can shrink to 10% of its own volume. Li Shuguang said that they can produce a 10 cm long artificial muscle in 10 minutes. The material cost is less than one US dollar (about 1.35 Singapore dollars), the production time is short and the cost is extremely low.

Studies have confirmed that by changing the fluid pressure of the sealed "skin", such as pumping aeration or pumping water, the artificial muscles can be stretched, bent or twisted, and thus the ever-changing "muscle" movement can be used to drive Different equipment to manufacture robots for various purposes.

The report also said that the invention may be used in Mars space and undersea exploration, or as a wearable robotic exoskeleton, micro-surgical equipment, etc.
