Biohybrid Robots

Biohybrid robots are machines that combine biological components, like muscle cells or tissues, with artificial materials to create functional robotic systems. By integrating living tissues that can move or sense, these robots can perform tasks with more natural efficiency, adaptability, and responsiveness than traditional robots. For example, they might use muscle cells to generate movement or biological sensors to detect environmental changes. This interdisciplinary approach aims to develop more versatile, energy-efficient, and biocompatible robots, potentially revolutionizing fields like medicine, environmental monitoring, and robotics research.
