Bio-inspired robotic "muscles" that will enable robots to operate in boiling water, survive abrasive surfaces, bypass impediments that keep their motorized counterparts benched, and still lift up to 100 times their own weight1 ( Arizona SU )

Bio-inspired robotic "muscles" that will enable robots to operate in boiling water, survive abrasive surfaces, bypass impediments that keep their motorized counterparts benched, and still lift up to 100 times their own weight1 ( Arizona SU ) Helical anisotropically reinforced polymer (HARP) actuators, mimic natural muscle contraction and expansion. These actuators are flexible, very lightweight, and quiet for use in soft robotics ▶️
