Researchers at North Carolina State University developed a lightweight, portable fluidic engine that powers untethered soft robots mimicking muscle movement. These robots generate significant force using oil-pumped chambers, driven by a battery-powered high-torque motor. Suitable for assistive devices, the engine can produce up to 580 Newtons of force, with higher efficiency than previous untethered engines.
