Artificial muscles based on conducting polymer and carbon nanotubes

Work Could Lead to Advanced Limbs for Amputees, Robots

Researchers at the NanoTech Institute at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) have been awarded a $750,000, 20-month grant to develop artificial muscles that convert chemical energy to mechanical energy. The award was made by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), whose charter is to develop new technologies for military applications.
