…everything from fragile fruits to delicate decorations. Researchers from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Austria’s Johannes Kepler University and the University of Colorado at Boulder in the United States recently made a fully biodegradable artificial muscle from gelatin, oil and bioplastics. They called them hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic actuators. The team used them to move a robotic gripper. A YouTube video from the group indicated the muscles break down in compost bins after six months. Ellen Rumley — co-first author of the accompanying research paper — thinks the innovation has a bright future. “We see an urgent need…
