APM in T.Level III may finally enable us to create an active muscle metamaterial that can reach and exceed the performance of human muscle tissue. A long cherished dream of robotic engineers.
The material consits out of many minimal sized active units. Each of them contains one or more elektromechanical or chemomechanical motors that extend or shrink the units length. For fault tolerancy a the units must be connected parrallel and seriell in a hirachical fractal fashion [TODO add infographic. Instead of constant volume shear deformation in interfacial drives a volume changing extension or shrinkage takes place here.
Since on the nano level the muscle turns out to consist out of lots of motors a crossword might be fitting. Suggestion: Mokel.
All the powersupply infrastructure for the motors must be incorporatred making the design quite complex.
