Paper-thin robot powered by muscle cells swims through watery maze
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 soft, biohybrid machine moves by contracting its muscle tissue, a design that could point toward new medical and research applications such as targeted drug delivery inside the body. Coverage is circulating widely on science and technology news outlets.
Why now: The unusual biohybrid design combining living cells with robotics is novel and scientifically striking.
