And the Schwarzenegger Bundle LIVES!

MIT & Harvard scientists have built robot muscles that can lift 1000 times their own weight.

Only a matter of time.

I welcome our future robot overlords with arms wide opeen and head bowed.

The simple objects are constructed out of metal or plastic “skeletons” that are covered in either a liquid or air, and then sealed in plastic or fabric “skins.” The muscle pulls taught when a vacuum is created inside the skin, and goes slack when the vacuum is released. By folding the skeletons in different ways, the vacuum can pull the muscle in different directions.

Not quite like myomer, but it seems to do the same thing. I look forward to giant robots made with this technology and their fights.

So liquid-pressure muscles? It's a good idea, but it will be bit before they can refine it i would imagine.

If they could armor it i guess, it would be good for construction.  I think maybe more challenging for the smaller applications.  Like personal robots.
It will be interesting!
