Imagine a material that expands or contracts when exposed to a signal and can "lock" at any point of that expansion or contraction, also store energy like a spring, and release it all in one snap. That's exactly what a muscle does.
We can do that with hydraulics, and with pneumatic systems, but it was hard to do that with electric motors. These electrical systems tended to be just on or off.
Well it WAS hard. We've been researching memory metal alloys and a few other tricks that can do just that, store energy, expand, contract,and release it all at once. We are starting to see the results of that research now.
Robots are getting muscles.
