Pneumatic Exoskeleton Enables Overhead and Forward Arm Support

Robotics, Tech /

Prolonged work in fixed postures often fatigues muscles and causes musculoskeletal disorders because muscles do not handle sustained contractions well, even at low intensity. Gravity exerts maximum torque on the shoulder and elbow when the upper and lower arms extend forward horizontally, as in repetitive tasks like drilling. Exoskeletons for Musculoskeletal Relief Despite increasing automation,

Air-driven artificial muscles may let robots lift up to 100× their weight

Applied Science, Robotics /

Researchers at Arizona State University are creating bio-inspired robotic “muscles” that could let robots function in extreme conditions—like boiling water and rough surfaces—overcome obstacles that stop traditional motor-driven machines, and still lift up to 100 times their own weight. These next-generation robots are expected to be lighter, more compact, and free from direct power connections.
