The Artificial Muscle Research Institute (AMRI) was established by Regents Professor Mohsen Shahinpoorat in 1996. Professor Mohsen Shahinpoor, Regents professor in the School of Engineering and School of Medicine , was the Director of the Institute. The Artificial Muscle Research Institute has now become the leading world institution in ionic polymeric artificial muscle research, development, and applications. Professor Shahinpoor has re-established the Institute as an Initiative at University of Maine. The immediate goals of the institute is to develop, design, fabricate, test, and commercialize medical and industrial and domestic products based on biomimetic electrically and/or chemically controllable polymeric artificial muscles. These muscles will be used in applications relating to industrial, medical, and domestic problems. The Artificial Muscle Research Institute (AMRI) has teamed up with The Facio Scapulo Humeral Muscular Dystrophy Society
(http://www.fshsociety.org)and will be actively involved in developing artificial muscle-based devicesand systems to help people with muscular problems and deficiencies and disabled individuals.
