The latest work from Taekyoung & Pranav @TrubyLab is out at @AdvSciNews! Taekyoung led the development of a flexible, electrically-driven soft actuator! Motorizing soft architected materials like these are enabling a new path for artificial muscle design.

@JenniferALewis1 @TrubyLab Thanks, Jennifer!

[Northwestern Engineering @NorthwesternEng]

Professor Ryan Truby (@TrubyLab) developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new actuators provide the performance and mechanical properties required for building robotic musculoskeletal systems.
