This robot doesn’t use motors, gears or electricity for movement — it moves using sound-activated artificial muscles. Researchers at ETH Zürich created soft silicone muscles embedded with thousands of tiny microbubbles. When ultrasound waves hit them, the bubbles rapidly vibrate and the material bends just like a real muscle.

These soft muscles can swim like a stingray, bend like a finger, or act as a precise micro-gripper that can hold ultra-delicate objects such as a zebrafish larva — without causing damage. No wires. No external power. Just ultrasound.

Because ultrasound penetrates through water and tissue, this technology could be used in the future for:

Robots that move inside the human body

Targeted drug delivery to a tumor or internal organ

Soft surgical robots for minimally invasive medical procedures

Wearable artificial muscles for rehabilitation


This breakthrough shows the next generation of robots will not be rigid or mechanical — they’ll be soft, silent, wireless and powered by sound.
