These gummy-like robots could keep us healthy from within

Micro Muscles

Researchers at EPFL have built a set of microscopic tools and soft-robots which could be implanted in the body to help regulate various movements.

Thankfully we're not quite at the point of bulletproof Terminators yet.

The liquid metal circuits automatically reroute current around any cuts or holes in the material – paving the way for more humanoid robots.

Historically, robots have been fairly durable but clumsy.

Origami-inspired robot muscles allow us to produce new soft robots, which are stronger and appear more organic than previous versions.

These 3D-printed soft robots can bounce without breaking.

Take a moment to watch a stretchy robot test its octopus-inspired skin.
