Artificial Muscles

Artificial Muscles is a type of soft actuator that emulates the mechanical functionality of biological muscles by generating controllable deformations in response to external stimuli, distinguished by its ability to achieve large strain, high energy density, and compliant motion through biomimetic design principles.
