Artificial muscles that mimic human muscles could let machines move like humans

Robots have become one step closer to being more human-like. Researchers have developed actuators that generate movements similar to those of a bicep muscle and are also shock absorbent. This innovated technology uses vacuum power to automate soft, rubber beams, which could one-day allow robots and humans to safely work alongside each other. Researchers have developed actuators for cyborgs that generates movements similar to those of skeletal muscles and are even shock absorbing. Similar to human muscles, actuators are soft, shock absorbing and are not harmful to the robots environment or the humans in it.
