A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison has found a new way to power robots that could make them more sustainable, more life-like, and able to run longer. The work, led by James Pikul, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, was published on September 10, 2024, in the journal Matter. On top of the robotics breakthrough, the discovery could also be applied to other electromechanical systems and even chemical manufacturing.
