ONE-ARMED ROBOT BEATS SAMURAI IN SWORD COMPETITION

In April, Japan’s Nimiki laboratory gave a robot arm a foam sword, paired it with high-speed mechanical eyes, and taught it how to duel a human. Perhaps teaching a robot how to fight a human isn’t the best course of action. Is there another way to show off the finesse and prowess of a machine arm wielding a sharp blade that doesn’t involve training it on a human?

The robotics world just got a new kind of artificial muscle to flex, crafted from an unexpected material: onion skin. Today in Applied Physics Letters, researchers from National Taiwan University unveiled a new artificial muscle design, made by layering gold on top of the skin of an onion. It's a new tactic in the search for a working artificial muscle, a search that could have important implications for robotics and healthcare in the years to come.

Because of the onion's unique cell structure, the new artificial muscle is able to remain soft and bendable while it's contracting, a trick that has eluded previous artificial muscle design. The researchers had been attempting to make a similar structure out of polymers when they realized the onion provided a cheaper natural alternative. "Like human muscles, it can bend and contract simultaneously," said Wen-Pin Shih, a mechanical engineer who worked on the project. "That's something previous models couldn't do."

Robotic surgeons may seem like science fiction, but they are routinely helping human surgeons perform surgeries across the world, especially North America. Prostate cancer surgery is benefiting immensely from robotic surgeons, since the robots can be more precise in nerve-sparing, allowing men to retain important functions of elimination control and sexual performance that can easily be lost during such surgery performed by a human surgeon.
