![]() IMuscle 2 provides users with the ability to zoom into an area on our 3D human body and tap on a muscle to reveal exercises and stretches targeted to the development and/or rehabilitation of that specific muscle. "iMuscle allows everyone from fitness junkies to work-out novices to create and maintain a personalized exercise program tailored to their specific needs." "iMuscle is a great option for learning to exercise and stretch specific muscles in your body." "iMuscle is a sophisticated workout aid." For personal or professional use, this is a fantastic fitness tool." "iMuscle is a high-quality, professional-grade, but user-friendly app that will help users not just work out, but do so with maximum effectiveness and minimal injury. ![]() "Anyone into sports training or rehabilitation science will immediately see the usefulness of this app." WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING: "The iMuscle app has the benefit of teaching you more about the muscles that help your body move." Cross platform compatibility is something we will be working towards in the future. PLEASE NOTE: It is currently not possible to share workouts or personal data between Apple devices and other platforms. ⁃Listed as one of the best apps for weight loss by ⁃Listed as one of Tech Crunch's top 20 apps ⁃No.1 Health & Fitness app - App Store Rewind ⁃Chosen by the App Store as "App of the Week" IMUSCLE 2 IS A HIGHLY VISUAL, 3D-BASED, AWARD WINNING HEALTH AND FITNESS APP THAT HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PLAN AND TRACK YOUR FITNESS PROGRAM. It’s the closest artificial material equivalent we have to a natural muscle.THIS APP IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH IPAD 2 AND NEWER “It can push, pull, bend, twist, and lift weight. “Our soft functional material may serve as robust soft muscle, possibly revolutionizing the way that soft robotic solutions are engineered today,” said Miriyev. In the long term, researchers will use artificial intelligence to control the man-made muscle. ![]() In the short term, the advancement in soft material robots – which can replicate natural motion – could be used in areas such as manufacturing and healthcare, where robots must interact with humans. We’ve overcome one of the final barriers to making lifelike robots.” “This is a big piece of the puzzle and, like biology, the new actuator can be shaped and reshaped a thousand ways. A thin resistive wire with low power actuates the artificial muscle after it was 3D-printed into the desired shape. “We’ve been making great strides toward making robots’ minds, but robot bodies are still primitive,” said Hod Lipson of the Creative Machines Lab. Lead author of the study Aslan Miriyev, a postdoctoral researcher in the Creative Machines Lab, used a silicone rubber matrix with ethanol distributed throughout in micro-bubbles to achieve an actuator with high strain and high stress coupled with low density. Researchers at Columbia Engineering developed a 3D-printable synthetic soft muscle with no such limitations and that can lift 1,000 times its own weight. The limitations of those bulky external components have prevented the creation of robots that can move and work independently. Unfortunately, existing actuators remain bulky which limits the possibilities for smaller robots or intelligent prosthetic limbs. Existing soft-actuator technologies require external equipment to pneumatically or hydraulically inflate plastic skins with air or liquid, much like a bicycle pump inflates a tire or the push of a pedal activates a car’s brakes. Researchers have made rapid advances in computer miniaturization, which makes it possible to develop smaller robot brains.
