Ras Labs, LLC, Synthetic Muscle™ for Prosthetics & Robotics Ras Labs believes in developing, fabricating and distributing customized products that have the power to heal and save lives. Ras Labs produces Synthetic Muscle™, electroactive polymer (EAP) based materials and actuators that contract and expand at low voltages, offering a high level of control with low power consumption and with minimal heat/noise signatures. EAP contraction-expansion can be cycled repeatedly, and the amount of movement can be controlled by adjusting the voltage, which lends these materials to biofeedback. These EAP smart materials can be integrated into existing systems for prosthetic liners/sockets.
