Korean Scientists Create 10g Fabric Muscle That Lifts 15kg, Powers Wearable Robots Under 2kg

Korean researchers develop revolutionary 10-gram fabric muscle that lifts 15 kilograms, enabling ultra-lightweight wearable robots under 2kg that reduce human muscle effort by 40% and improve movement range by 57% in patients with muscular weakness.

• Korean researchers develop automated weaving system that continuously produces ultra-thin shape memory alloy fabric muscle, weighing only 10g but capable of lifting 10-15kg
• The breakthrough enables creation of clothing-type wearable robots under 2kg that assist multiple joints simultaneously, reducing muscle effort by over 40% during physical tasks
• Clinical trials show the shoulder-assist robot improves movement range by over 57% in patients with muscular weakness, bringing commercialization of wearable robotics significantly closer
