Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles are a new class of artificial muscle fibers for robots and wearables. By integrating charge-injection electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fiber pumps directly into the muscle system, EFMs operate silently and untethered, eliminating bulky external equipment such as pumps, compressors, and tubing that has long limited the portability and practical use of fluidic soft robots.
