Paper-thin robot powered by muscle cells navigates watery maze
Original: Powered by muscle cells, a paper-thin robot swims through a watery maze
Researchers have unveiled a paper-thin robot driven by living muscle cells that can swim its way through an underwater maze. The biohybrid device, reported by Tech Xplore, demonstrates how engineered muscle tissue can be used to propel soft microrobots through complex aquatic environments, a step with potential applications in medicine and targeted delivery.
Why now: Biohybrid robotics combining living muscle cells with soft machines is a striking scientific advance that captures attention.
