Development of a Chemically Driven Biomimetic Modular Artificial Muscle (BiMAM)

Artificial Muscles Pritish Nagwade, Sanghoon Lee, and co‐workers present BiMAM – a biomimetic modular artificial muscle driven by chemical power and controlled by electronic signals (see article number 2300200). The bioinspired design of the nanoparticle‐coated artificial muscle unit in BiMAM enables larger chemical‐based actuation strokes. Additionally, an electromechanical system developed to facilitate chemical fuel control allows electronic manipulation of BiMAM. By demonstrating electromyography‐based control of BiMAM, this article glances at the future of chemical‐driven bionics and robotics.
