The engineers of ETH Zurich managed to make artificial muscles, and its basis is textiles. It is similar in shape to a vest with cuffs that are attached to the forearms. Sensors are built into the musculature. Several dozen people took part in the tests.
Tests have shown that with the help of such muscles it is possible to lift and hold heavy objects much longer than usual. Engineers believe that it can significantly increase endurance. Such musculature will be useful for rescue teams, workers, as well as those with limited mobility.
As soon as all the latest tests are completed, the company plans to launch its invention into mass production. Given the fact that the number of man-made accidents in different countries continues to grow, artificial musculature will be very popular.
The company promised that they will soon introduce another modification, with the help of which endurance and other power characteristics will significantly increase. Several companies supplying rescue equipment and centers providing assistance to disabled people have already become interested in the development.
