Lots of comments on how this could change things. But there's one thing that is a glaring omission in the video to me. It's lifting capacity. How much can one unit lift? 10 units? Does it increase in capacity with addition units and if so, by what type of rate? Incremental or exponential? How scalable is it? How vulnerable to damage are the fluid pods? It's a great concept and demo, but what it could be used for is limited based on these other factors.
It's a tech demo, not a guideline. You can go to their news article and follow the referenced research articles there to see some more technical properties.
I don't think you will get anything out of making them smaller. Those are basically capacitors, and they are highly dependent on the surface area, so the smaller they get, the weaker the effect will be, but it is a fascinating non the less, one student made an universal and cheap eye sight testing kit with the same principal, and some phones yoused that for a lens in their cameras
this will reach its potential when turned super super small like we did with transistors hook them together to form a muscle and omg thats some fearsome power
If they can shrink the technology enough, they could make prostheses that have the movement of a human hand by using those muscles to literally recreate an arm allowing the same or greater range of motion that we have as humans, making it more efficient.
On the other hand, why limit yourself to imitating an appendage that developed that way due to biological limitations? There's no reason we can't create a better version of a hand
@@Candlemancer the whole world is made for human and biological limitation come from years of adaptation i agree with u but its a pretty reliable direction to imitate what nature made, but i agree we might be able to something transcending nature work in this specific field
Random thought, but could you use current into a serious of ferrofluid filled “bags” to simulate the flexing of muscles? The stronger the current, the more the fluid would contract?
... Does anyone else watch this and think... If I was to develop a being, I would test all of the parts individually and call them a worm or whatever before putting together everything i learned to make an absolute being... I love the creativity here. Very novel
Make a wearable glove for Quadriplegics and sensors so that it can be controlled either by EEG Band or muscle contacts Quadriplegics would rather prefer motor hand function more than to be able to stand/walk You could design wearable tights that will stiffen at the knee joint and allow for standing It could help with transfer or pressure relief.
They probably have papers on their stuff, so it's not impossible that you will find how to build their stuff? Also if you live near them, you could try to just go to them and hope they let you buy the whole thing or components.
if you could configure this into a double helix ish shape with the correct timing I bet you could get it to move like a snake. but this is very impressive.
The problem is high voltage. This would make more sense in these videos to show their voltage source. If not, then it seems a lack of information to only show the muscle without its voltage source 😢😢
We need some prototypes with human anatomy with paired and opposite moving over a "bone" to see the real strenght and precision compared to the real muscles. However, are quite promising.
I and my brother had a similar idea back in 2017, I think it was. Ours used Hexagonal shaped actuators that contracted to make a pulling force. And worked in unison with other units, like this one. Ours used a slightly different method, though. I won't go into detail on exactly how it worked, but you could think it up if you tried. We wanted to use ours to build a hyper lightweight robot: Basically, a walking popsicle stick, with the advantage of speed and agility. Although, I am concerned about building robots. Because I don't want to help the elites end the lives of people in the world. This life is short. Don't leave it without Jesus.

😂 You must be joking. Do you think it is that simple? You people constantly freak out over insignificant advancements. Seventies scientist dreamed about Moon settlements, while nobody was actually there 🙄
I can already see a ton of application for these. Such quick movement is impressive for a partially soft robot
Name a few, please.

Energy consumption? And scalability for production? Material accessibility? Looks cool, no doubt.

@@cefcephatus Noooo,... Really? Who would have ever thought
@@nerored6235 Well, the RP is behind a pay wall. So, not really helpful.
It needs to be 10x smaller, connected together, and woven into fabric.
On the right side, we're already 10% of the way there.
The university of Colorado Boulder and Robotic Materials really needed your take on that specific subject... Now they know

@@tom79623 That sounds very interesting! Do you have a link to that project?
it also needs to be super though or it will rip
Absolutely brilliant.
This is how you build those robots from big hero 6
0:14 - that's what I look like when excercising. 0:44 - that's what my brain thinks I look like when excercising.
Went through the trouble and it was worth it.
This is really cool! Perhaps even eventually be used in prosthetics or even further in the future, replacing/repairing deteriorating muscles somehow?
Next step: making a functioning limb with all these things.
This gonna change the world
I really doubt it
Pretty cool
awsome. first step to myomer.
This is amazing!
Looks promising !
Wow that is seriously impressive!
this will reach its potential when turned super super small like we did with transistors
hook them together to form a muscle and omg thats some fearsome power
could this be mineaturized further?
I'm very much looking forward to how this will advance
Brilliant!
This new type of motor looks amazing.

Who knows, maybe we will have some breakthrough to push for better future.
I can see the future where you get a tinier version of these things, and you get hundreds or thousands of these to make up a body part of a robot.
the first one needs some wings
So the MSK-5S Mackie production is now on the horizon?
it's nice but the question is not whether we can build it but rather if we can power it for anything useful

Where did you get this idea
I wonder how small these could get
Finally Autoblow can become silent
how do these muscles work and how can i make my own
So this is how those jumping landmines worked in HL2
This is Oscar if it trully existed
This could be really used in some way in prosthetics 🦿🦾
Thought about the same! I love the idea of creating an arm from these.
It has no strength, it's just magnets. This is such a waste of time, typical academia bullshit.
I'd like to purchase these, where may I do so?
hey pal you just blow in fom stupid town
@@crunchybones2528 nah, I just want to make a cool robot. Did you?

It needs to be a hexagonal bicone. You're welcome.
With the brain interface. It can help to make lightweight and efficient prosthetics.

Dancing hexagons, that's all I understand.

Why is every other magnet hooked?
in the future your chair is going to stand up and follow you :)
Can they detach themselves
This is gives big hero six vibes
Oh i see... everybody wants to do their part to bring the skynet apocalypse closer to happening.
In what country is this?
It literally says University of Colorado Boulder, make a guess

@@nuclear-salmon who is paying you $ to say this?
holy shit!
One step closer to self-assembling robots, or replicators.
look like stargate sg1 was real
Can you make the models very very tiny and make magnetic muscles?
this is how we will explore planets in the future.

Lol sure buddy
