I'm sad to see that no one thought or found any materials that react to electricity by contracting itself or something like it. (if there is one i ignore it, i heard of memory material that goes back to their initial state (position) when electricity is send trough it). I would do many little fibbers with that material and mimic a real muscle. It would not be loud and slow like this robot, and probably way more responsive, accurate and flexible. I'm surprised there is no synthetic muscles yet.
Something in that way indeed exists but is still in a very early research state. Science magazine published an article about it in October last year. An experimental twisted yarn thread made of billions of nano tubes based on carbon. When this yarn is put into a conductive liquid or gel , ions start flowing through the yarn and make it contract, thus the thread looses one percent of its initial length. Switch the electricity off and and the thread expands again.
@Celeon999A But I must admit this video show a real evolution in therm of researches and I can see a lot of potential uses for industrial companies, or uses of robots in hazardous area or situation. Even if I don't see any practical uses of an humanoid model using this technology yet, other forms that mimic simple animals or arms would be of great use.

@jukioh except for me. I'm going to be a cyborg in an ironman suit. That's like a double dose of mechanized power.
