Robotic "muscle wires" are made of shape memory alloys such as Nitinol, which contract/return to a pre-set shape on heating, mimicking muscle action.

Working

Shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as Nitinol (a nickel-titanium alloy), can be deformed at one temperature and will return to their original, pre-set shape when heated above a transition temperature. In robotics, thin wires of such alloys are used as "muscle wires": passing an electric current heats the wire, causing it to contrac …
