Inspired by origami, artificial muscle can lift 1000 times its own weight

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University have developed a variety of origami-inspired artificial muscles that can lift up to a thousand times their own weight - and yet be dexterous enough to grip and raise a delicate flower.The devices, described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offer a new way to give soft robots super strength, which could be used everywhere from inside our bodies to outer space.
