Artificial muscle device produces force 34 times its weight

Researchers have developed a fluid switch using ionic polymer artificial muscles that operates at ultra-low power and produces a force 34 times greater than its weight.
The artificial muscle is composed of metal electrodes and ionic polymers, and it generates force and movement in response to electricity. [ more ]
