Testing with <20ml of water 💧 . Good results!. The next muscles will be smaller and faster.

Another batch of muscle bladders is ready for assembly. Should have a nice set of muscles complete by tomorrow.

RT @Xaraphim: seriously , why don’t we put more research into fluidic motors that mimic human tendons and muscles for humanoid robotics.

Successful first test of our contracting fluid-driven artificial muscles. I've got several more small ones to build for the hands, and then I'm cooking up some BIG ones for the arm. 🦾

Contracting muscles are coming together nicely!

Prepared some smaller muscle bladders.

Testing the smallest bladder first. Works very well, with no leaks! Off-the-shelf barbed fittings are used for connecting to supply lines.

Just finished casting some fluid bladders for contracting muscles I'll be testing out. They turned out quite well.

Couldn't get to sleep. Time to build instead.

I am highly considering ordering several of these systems to fully automate our muscle and robot production. 👀. Let's hope the cost is reasonable.

Securing some supply lines in a fresh batch of artificial muscles. Testing the first dual-line variant, too! One supply line, one exhaust line. I'm also trying a few new wrapping patterns on the muscles. May affect the maximum range of motion.

Dissolving PVA supports? Way faster now!

Oh yeah, we cooking

Very lightweight, too. 5g per assembled muscle.
