Replicating motions of the heart: Artificial muscles that do the twist set the stage for soft robotics

Researchers have developed a low-cost, programmable soft actuated material that they used to replicate the complex motion of the heart, along with a matching 3-D computer model. The advance sets the stage for new possibilities in the emerging field of soft robotics.
