To do this, they used "artificial muscles", also known as electrohydraulic actuators. These soft actuators, which resemble freezer bags, are filled with oil and have electrodes attached.

Researchers said on Monday (September 9, 2024) said they had designed the first robotic leg with "artificial muscles" - oil-filled bags allowing machines to move more like humans - that can jump ...
