MIT Builds Swimming Robot Powered By Living Muscle Cells
Original: MIT Engineers Design Swimming Robot Powered By Living Muscle Cells
Engineers at MIT have designed a swimming robot powered by living muscle cells, according to Forbes. The robot uses biological tissue as its propulsion system, combining synthetic engineering with living cells. The project highlights growing interest in biohybrid robotics, where machines are driven by muscle rather than conventional motors, opening possibilities for soft, medical and environmental applications.
Why now: New MIT research combining living cells and robotics has just been published and is drawing attention for its biohybrid approach.
