Hm. I don't think this is an actual thing but perhaps an art project? Would be interested to be proven wrong.

Edit: I think they made a hand like thing and are very very deeply stretching to generate interest and investment in the idea they're showcasing here

I also thought it was an art project, but they've previously put out footage of a torso with a mostly empty abdomen which looked about as real. That is, it might of course be CG but if so they're making it look less good over time, which seems unlikely. (They put footage on X periodically but it all looks janky).

I've been interested in artificial muscles for a long time and thought it was a more feasible path to go down than the 'industrial/mechanical' style, so this project looks quite interesting. But of course there's no way to tell if it's any way functional or just animatronics.
