Artimus Robotics

Corporate marketactuationCurated record

Artimus Robotics builds HASEL electrohydraulic actuators that combine flexible polymer films, liquid dielectrics, and electrostatic forces to produce muscle-like linear motion with analog voltage control, no pneumatics, and self-healing dielectric behavior. Product line spans contracting actuators, expanding actuators, and multi-channel high-voltage drive electronics sold to research and OEM customers. Target applications include dexterous robotic manipulation for humanoids and industrial automation, haptics, and pressure-tolerant non-magnetic underwater robotics. In February 2026 the company launched a next-generation contracting actuator claiming more than double the mechanical output of the prior generation.
