A tiny, biohybrid robot moves by contracting lab-grown muscle tissue in its legs – but it needs help to stand up in a water tank and it tops out at just 5.4 millimetres per minute

“The next step for the biohybrid robot would be to develop a version with joints and additional muscle tissues for more sophisticated walking capabilities,” he says. “These types of biohybrid robots are useful tools for studying engineered muscle tissue and investigating how to control biological actuators,” says Webster-Wood. “As the force and control capabilities advance through this type of scientific research, the ability to apply these actuators to more complex robots will increase.”
