Lab-grown muscles power robots
Researchers have developed robots powered by lab-grown muscle tissue, using cultivated biological muscle as an actuator instead of conventional motors. The approach suggests a path toward softer, more energy-efficient machines that combine living tissue with engineered skeletons. Coverage in the electronics press highlights the engineering challenge of keeping living muscle alive and responsive inside a machine. It marks another step in biohybrid robotics, where biology and machines are increasingly merged.
Why now: Biohybrid robotics is an emerging field, and demonstrations of living muscle driving machines capture wide attention
