The biomimetic
muscle
High force multiplication ratio – no speed loss
Facilitates your transverse CSR and extra-financial performance reporting
A key dedicated Deep Tech innovation designed for effective work-sharing, power assistance
and augmented intelligence to enhance health and protection in the workplace.
Eco responsible
Responsible and sustainable value chain over the entire life cycle of operations, circular economy, reduced carbon footprint
Risk reduction
The articulated internal system adapts naturally to the operator even in adverse conditions; it features a progressive, notch by notch tilting system for perfect safety in the workplace (to prevent musculoskeletal disorders), enables concurrent activity in a shared space and helps to maintain your operators’ technical skills.
New active component to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
All the experts are in agreement – current technology produces oversized, inefficient and power-consuming handling-lifting-drilling gear and robotic equipment. As for exoskeletons, which were meant to provide an answer to musculoskeletal disorders, they have demonstrated their limitations and their risks.
A transformation is now possible !
Push4m is a Deep Tech company founded in 2016. It offers ground-breaking innovative solutions that can be fully integrated into all current and future generations of mechanical applications. Following a 5-year R&D period, Push4m has developed and patented a biomimetic muscle that replicates human muscle expansion, providing remarkable gains in efficiency in modern industrial auxiliary equipment used by workforces in risky, confined or even contaminated environments.
Outstanding performance
Environmentally responsible components
Limited power requirement

New-generation auxiliary systems
The power efficiency of the human muscle
« The human muscle is not an actuator – it is a continual, extremely swift externally activated system of multiple iterative pushers. Because it imitates the human muscle, the Push4m biomimetic muscle has a much lower power input requirement than current robotic solutions, it is more compact, lighter and more accurate in all of its movements. It is designed to adapt to resistive torque by increasing motor torque or speed. In this way, it enables a robotic device to adapt to its environment and to the operator in complete safety – and not the other way around, which is the case at present. Thanks to the use of miniaturised modelling and 3D printing techniques, the biomimetic muscle, produced from an ultra-resistant, bio-sourced material, can be integrated into all devices and machines. Our MX1000 multiplier provides additional degrees of freedom, greater rotation and new functionalities, enabling it to rise to the major challenges of the 21st century! »
Push4m An innovation serving the needs of all sectors
Push4m’s biomimetic muscle adapts to all devices and machines and can be employed in all operational environments, even the toughest.
A disruptive solution to meet your industrial requirements, address your most difficult situations and rise to your strategic challenges.
Testimonials
What the major influencers think about Push4m
Bruno Maisonnier, Founder of Aldébaran Robotics (the start-up that developed NAO, the famous small humanoid robot) and CEO of Another Brain (3rd generation AI).
The technology proposed by PUSH4M is a breakthrough in traditional lifting methods. It is based on a lever arm inspired by the human body and specifically by the phenomenon of muscle expansion. It is a marvellous invention that will revolutionise our sector!„
Frédéric Plisson,
Associate at Monségur Finance.
After 5 years of R&D, our adventure took on a whole new dimension with 2 capital raising programmes after we miniaturised our actuator as a single piece using 3D printing techniques and focussed on a product intended for universal use. This paved the way for our “Go To Market” process with unique, ground-breaking programmes supported by major groups.„
Jacques Pellas,
former General Secretary of DASSAULT AVIATION and ex-President of the EPF Graduate School of Engineering.
PUSH4M’s invention opens up vast fields of application: the building and construction sector, but also robotics, transport, materials handling, etc. It is fascinating to realise that the human body is an endless source of inspiration for our scientists.„
Jérôme Stubler,
President of Vinci Construction.
Having seen the elements presented by PUSH4M, I am convinced by the promise of this lever arm inspired by the human body.Quote published in the MONITEUR MATERIELS
„
Sébastien Briot,
Doctor of Science, Head of Research at CNRS.
Push4M is proposing a unique solution that exerts minimal force on a mechanism whilst generating an extremely high power output. The implications could be extremely interesting for many markets.„
Vincent Royer,
Innovation Director, Kiloutou Group.
My remit is to identify innovations that provide added value to our products and services. Push4M plays a part because their solution addresses the concerns of our customers in terms of health and safety in the workplace. We must democratise the use of these biomimetic-muscle cobots; they can revolutionise and modernise the building and manufacturing professions.„
Bruno Linéatte,
Director,R&D Innovation, Construction Methods, Bouygues Construction.
In the building sector, robots weighing 1 to 2 tonnes are still much too big and heavy. For this reason, we are interested in the solutions that the PUSH4M technology can provide.Quote published in the MONITEUR MATERIELS
„
Hervé Labbé,
CEO of NowCP.
I am not an engineer, but a financial expert. I am nevertheless convinced that Push4m has come up with a new invention that will revolutionise the robotics market.„
Cyrille Vue,
CEO of Erpro Group.
Thanks to our experience in additive manufacturing, we have accomplished the feat producing of Push4m’s actuator from PA11, a bio-sourced product from Arkema. This extremely complex geometric shape is perfectly articulated as it imitates the human muscle. A true revolution in the mechanical and robotics fields!„
