Artificial muscles which are also known as synthetic muscles, are materials or devices that mimic the function of biological muscles by contracting, expanding, or rotating when stimulated. They have the ability to convert chemical or electrical signals into mechanical energy. These materials could be made from a variety of substances including polymers, electroactive polymers (EAPs), shape-memory alloys, and bio-hybrid systems, among others. The development of artificial muscles is a significant area of research within the fields of robotics, prosthetics, and wearable technology. They are particularly advantageous in applications where lightweight, high power-to-weight ratio, and flexible movements are desired. Artificial muscles can be designed to respond to stimuli such as voltage, current, pH changes, temperature, or light. The goal in creating these materials is to develop systems that can perform tasks with similar efficiency and agility to natural muscle, but with the added durability and versatility of synthetic materials.
Market Dynamics:
Global artificial muscle market is driven by growing demand for human-friendly robots, prosthetics and wearables. Artificial muscles are expected to power more realistic animatronic characters and humanoids as they can produce life-like motions. Rising geriatric population worldwide is increasing the need for assistive devices and prosthetics which presents an opportunity for artificial muscle manufacturers. However, high production costs and lack of mass manufacturing capabilities currently restrain market growth. Ongoing nanotechnology advancements to create stronger, more energy-efficient artificial muscle fibers would help unlock new opportunities. Development of smart artificial muscle materials that can mimic natural muscles even more closely could further expand market reach in future.
