MIT Builds Swimming Robot Powered By Living Muscle Cells
Original: MIT Engineers Design Swimming Robot Powered By Living Muscle Cells
Engineers at MIT have designed a small swimming robot propelled by living muscle cells, according to Forbes. The biohybrid device uses biological tissue as its power source rather than a conventional motor, pointing to a growing field of robotics that merges synthetic structures with living cells for soft, agile movement.
Why now: The blending of living tissue with robotics is a striking scientific advance that draws broad attention.
