Soft Robots that Mimic Human Muscles Can Help Stroke

They even talk about using it for strokes. It will never get into your stroke hospital because your hospital will never find out about it.

An EPFL team is developing soft, flexible and reconfigurable robots. Air-actuated, they behave like human muscles and may be used in physical rehabilitation. They are made of low-cost materials and could easily be produced on a large scale.

Soft Robots that Mimic Human Muscles Can Help Stroke

A team from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) technological university in Switzerland announced Wednesday that it has created soft, flexible robots that can mimic human muscles.
The robots work by using “muscle-like actuators” and are made from soft materials like silicon and rubber. Eventually, the EPFL researchers hope to develop “adaptable robots that are capable of navigating around in cramped, hostile environments” which can “withstand squeezing and crushing.” For now, though, the team is focused on improving the tech.
EPFL says these robots could be used to handle fragile items, improve home care, and help keep people safe by surrounding them with a soft-but-durable exoskeleton. Similar tech is currently being used in a belt that can help stroke victims by compensating for muscular deficiencies.
