    Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They’re pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn’t stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.
