  • The muscle is 15 mm in diameter and generates 700 kgf contraction force.
    The hydraulic high-power muscle has been developed by Suzumori Endo Robotics Laboratory at Tokyo Institute of Technology and Bridgestone Corporation as part of the Impulsing PAradigm Change through disruptive Technologies program (ImPACT) Tough Robotics Challenge which is an initiative of the Cabinet Office Council for Science, Technology and Innovation.

      Honestly, I'm sure in many environments the limited range of motion of prior robotics would be better, but balloons seems interesting.

If we mimic the shape and placement of major human muscles with the ones shown in this video, would it produce natural, humanlike movement?
