ETH Zurich researchers create agile robotic leg with artificial muscles for improved energy efficiency in humanoid robots.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a robotic leg featuring "artificial muscles" that enables agile movement across various terrains like grass and sand. These electrohydraulic actuators, inspired by human muscles, use oil-filled bags to mimic natural muscle function and improve energy efficiency. The team envisions this technology aiding in the development of humanoid robots for household tasks in the future.
