Georgia Tech researchers are redefining what robotics can feel like — developing AI-powered artificial muscles made from life-like materials that move and adapt like human tissue.
Led by mechanical engineering professor Hong Yeo, the team’s work flips the Hollywood image of cold, metal machines into one of soft, intelligent systems built for healing and human connection.
Their latest study in Materials Horizons could transform prosthetics and rehabilitation, helping people regain motion, strength, and confidence.

Ethics Week returns this year with a focus on “Ethics in Action,” highlighting how Georgia Tech’s core value, We act ethically, comes to life across our campus community.
