Active Textile made of Thin McKibben Muscles

[@NathanDeger]

Incredible as always.

[@ManyHeavens42]

You can get them thinner than that. Keep going. Your almost there

[@NickMoore]

Very interesting, I wonder if a very small "active textile" could be used to make aircraft control surfaces with no seams.

[@michaelpoblete1415]

I think that might be suitable for an air-less space suit for the torso and arms/legs. body just need compression to keep the blood from boiling off in vacuum. It doesnt mean all that pressure needs to come from air, it could just be a compressive suit and the only part with pressurized air is the head with the rest using this contracting textile.

Incredible work! I can’t wait to see what this is used for!

[@issoulescondes3913]

I think it can be used to make artificial bird wings for robots.

[@MEPHPH]

Excellent, I think of the magnetic rules followed by a controllable motor diagram, robotics science is entry

[@Picardspassword]

I wish to know where they acquired their "thin artificial muscles" their website does not have a paper that cites them.

[@luciengrondin5802]

The usefulness of such thing will depend on its mechanical performance. It "looks" cool, but that doesn't tell anything about how useful it can be.

[@Ezio-Auditore94]

Read the paper. This video is not for entitled people to assume this is all there is, it's a demonstration video linked in the original paper, because you know, the video can't be printed.

This technology probably is helpful for people suffering from erectile problems.

Great soundtrack, interesting work.

A hora que la ciencia avanza con esto, la robótica, la eficiencia de muchas máquinas, menos pesos, mejores prótesis.

[@eurus2]

The Spiderman clothes are will be more realistic like movie

[@NerosShadow]

Kill la kill incoming.

[@qazvin44]

This apparently a pneumatic system ( work with a fluid in the black tubes) but the movie is quite misleading that the thin white textile is the artificial muscle. In science it is called lie

[@montagistreel]

Lol. Read a paper, man 🤦🏾‍♂️
