Paper-thin robot powered by muscle cells swims through mazes
Original: Powered by muscle cells, a paper-thin robot swims through a watery maze
Researchers have developed a paper-thin swimming robot driven by living muscle cells, capable of navigating through a watery maze. The biohybrid design uses the cells' natural contractions for propulsion rather than motors, a step forward for soft robotics with potential uses in medicine, such as targeted drug delivery inside the body. Coverage highlights the robot's ability to steer through complex liquid environments.
Why now: A novel biohybrid robot demonstrates living muscle tissue successfully powering movement, drawing attention in robotics and medical research circles.
