Artificial muscle flexes in multiple directions, offering a path to soft, wiggly robots
82% Informative
MIT engineers have developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple coordinated directions.
The researchers fabricated the artificial iris using a new “stamping” approach they developed.
The team says the stamp can be printed using tabletop 3D printers and fitted with different patterns of microscopic grooves.
Researchers fabricated a small, handheld stamp using high-precision printing facilities in MIT .
They printed a stamp with a pattern similar to the microscopic musculature in the human iris .
When the team stimulated the artificial iris with pulses of light, the muscle contracted in multiple directions.
The stamp design can also be made using tabletop 3D printers.
