- 4MIT's Paper-Thin Aquabot Swims Using Living Muscle Cells▼Living Muscle Cells Power a Paper-Thin MIT Aquabot Through a Maze
MIT researchers have developed an aquabot — a paper-thin swimming robot powered by living muscle cells rather than motors or batteries. The cell-driven swimmer can navigate its way through a maze, demonstrating precise, untethered movement at tiny scales. The work highlights how biological actuators could enable soft, miniature robots for medicine or environmental sensing, and it is drawing attention across robotics and biotech communities.
