Post Innovations are revolutionizing muscles, medicine

In 1999, Yoseph Bar-Cohen of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory challenged the engineering world to an arm-wrestling contest. Sort of, anyway.

He doesn't plan on participating himself, and the arm, which will face off against a human opponent of middling strength, has to be robotic. The catch is, he's not asking for your standard metallic appendage -- this robotic arm must be built with electroactive polymers (EAPs).

If robotics is your thing, check this out.
