A new version of artificial muscles for robots and other applications offers several advantages over previous technologies, researchers say.
Different polymers were used to fabricate different aspects of the 3D-printed appendage.
Scientists can now 3D print a complex robotic hand with bones, tendons, and ligaments... just like the android hosts use in Westworld!
The hand was printed using a technique called slow-curing, which gives plastics more time to set and makes them more durable.
Researchers have, for the first time, printed a robotic hand with bones, ligaments, and tendons made of different polymers.
