Tiny Robot Swims Using Living Muscle Tissue
Original: Tiny robot swims with living muscles
Researchers have developed a tiny swimming robot powered by living muscle tissue, according to coverage by The Ticker. The biohybrid device uses biological muscles rather than conventional motors to propel itself through fluid, a development that could inform future soft robotics and medical applications such as targeted drug delivery inside the body.
Why now: Biohybrid robotics that combine living cells with machines is a striking breakthrough that attracts wide scientific and public interest
