This is amazing in terms of what someone can do with a cheap material such as Nylon. Specially the multi-directional actuation part was awesome !! I just did a bit of research about the authors and it looks like the first author is a composer as well (?) Well, do you expect less from a MIT guy ?! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MIT !
Cool, you could mimic nervous stimuli by using semi-translucent nylon fiber and shining the laser down the fiber like fiber optics. Allowing specific and instantaneous actuation unlike anything we've ever seen, maybe creating something even more efficient than our own muscles.
Seems good, but I think relay on heat gives more problems than advantages, we need this kind of fiber but thatworks mosly based on any kind of voltage.
what will the purpose be for something like this? it's nylon; too much heat and it will melt and to mitigate that you need more area to spread the heat, which adds weight, cancelling (some of) the work done by the nylon because now it has to put the energy in to move itself. not to mention that it's slow to respond, so what type of "gripper" or "machine component" are we talking about here; something that picks up a block of styrofoam?
Dušan Pešić maybe heat everywhere at low heat, rather than at 1 point. Net bend will be as good as high temperatures at a point but at low temperatures (c shape vs L shape)
but now you need to focus a line of heat perfectly along the entire length of the nylon, or you need to waste energy by approximating its position and heating a larger area
Good point What if you were to attach the nylon to a thin flexible copper wire? The resistance would produce the heat evenly while allowing bending. I'm just guessing here. Whatever the MIT folks decide to do, I'm sure we will be impressed.
Nduati Kuria Exactly. That is the solution, and in the case of an artificial limb or exosuit strength amplifier, the wire can be rather thin, and thus be coiled with the actual muscle filament. Of course in order to avoid the negation of force it should have decent malleability. Although the common strand of polyethylene muscle is 100x stronger than a human muscle of equal size in adults.
Yes, because if you heat water to 90 celcius temperature, nylon fiber monofilament will trying have the more go closer - almost the same as nickel with titanium surfurace and this will create job- lift object with bigger mass. I tried explain, sorry for my english
I also try try create all exosuit from crysis 2. I created experimental real optical camouflage (better than Hypersealth Corp.). I found nylon muscles, liquid armor, special thermal /IR cameras, so I have a lot of ideas and i have soon suit up with real crysis 2 nanosuit. Fun fact liquid body armor is the type od nanotechnology :)

But What nylon?? Im printing my robot arm/hand and need this!
that is brilliant, this could also work for step-to-step motors and anything related with electronic and mechanic circuits

Están casi listos...
Does it work the other way? So stretching the muscle causes a pd across the ends?
A Space Tether: You could speed up or de-orbit a satellite without using fuel.
Does anyone have an idea of how much heat is required to activate the muscle?
Is the fiber coiled/CNT-wrapped?
Can nylon thread muscle electrothermal actuation in water?.

If you want, write optical camouflage suit on yt and find my second profile - camouflage made with hexagonal plates :)
Love your Channel!
is there a paper for this?
why is this not trending

Westworld is not so far away...
Rexus King *synths are not too far off...
Doesn't look like anything to me.
lol
I will go to that school
Morphy Kuffour prepare your wallet
Al ex and prepare for your dream to he shattered
jk do your best
I will work hard towards my goal
g'luck
I would love to and good luck
okay now how to control heating...
That sounds great!
not new. been done before
I'm sorry, but this is awesome.
Dolores...
Bring yourself back online.
awesome technology
How straong is it tho
Not new, but still a good research.
"Not new" !? Hahaha, is that why it is published in a prestigious journal ?!
always inspiring
PORYGON!!! ELECTRIC SOLDIERRRRR!!!
who the fuck disliked this?????
iRobot déjà vu...
Bravo!

Science is essentially God. These men and women are doing God's work.
Someone has to.
God is not something that's made by man.
Yes, it most likely is.
Sumner Chung
But Science is. It's the closest thing to God you can get.

We have limitations, yes. It's for our own good. LHC's going too far in some ways.
i never asked for this
Two flat earth believers unlike the video 😂

THEY ARE INCREASING :(
BURN THE DISSENTER
wow
this is shit muscle should work on contraction and linear movement like a human
k thx
#Westworld %-O
This is stupid. Noway will this ever be used in robotics or the automobile industry.
