New, high-performance artificial muscle technology enables more human-like motion
In the field of robotics, researchers are continually looking for the fastest, strongest, most efficient and lowest-cost ways to actuate, or enable, robots to make the movements needed to carry out their intended functions.
The quest for new and better actuation technologies and soft robotics is often based on principles of biomimetics, in which machine components are designed to mimic the movement of human muscles and ideally, to outperform them. Despite the performance of actuators like electric motors and hydraulic pistons, their rigid form limits how they can be deployed. As robots transition to more biological forms and as people ask for more biomimetic prostheses, actuators need to evolve.

Why you should consider using Akka with Scala
In this podcast, I sit down with Aleksandar Skrbic, a software developer based in Novi Sad, Serbia, and author of some great introductory posts on Akka Actors. We discuss how Akka has been instrumental in his career as a distributed systems developer and tech blogger, as well as:
His background in data science, and his move towards Scala development
His “eureka” moment with the Akka toolkit, and how this evolution boosted his coding in Scala
What it’s like to learn Akka, and how it influenced his professional work
Which parts of the Akka toolkit he is most comfortable with, and why
