This squishy robot mimics how our muscles move

With ANY innovation at all we could ask our researchers to build these soft muscles to help in recovering movement. But we have NO innovation in stroke at all. Everyone is just sitting on their ass WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.  You are screwed along with your children and grandchildren.

this robot is ten times more graceful than i am. (keplinger research group / science)

Scientists working on soft robotics have created a new kind of artificial muscle that mimics how our own muscles expand and contract. They're made a flexible materials and liquids that shift their shape in response to electricity. Depending on how scientists designed the devices, they were able to make the robots flex a mechanical arm, lift a gallon of water, and even pick up delicate objects without squishing them, like the raspberry shown here. University of Colorado mechanical engineer Shane Mitchell, who works on the devices, tells me they could one day be used to assist people with limited mobility or to develop prostheses that more closely mirror the properties and functions of human tissue.
