By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained the following quote sourced from bi orxiv.org: “The emerging field of biohybrid robotics aims to create the next generation of soft and sustainable robots by using engineered biological muscle tissues integr ated with soft materials as artificial muscles (bio-actuators). Both cardiac and skeletal muscle cells can be used for biohybrid actuation. Generally, cardiac b io-actuators take the shape of thin cellular films, while locomotive skeletal mu scle bio-actuators form bulk tissues. The geometry of a bio-actuator should be o ptimized for the type of desired motion, e.g., thin film layers are optimal for swimming actuators mimicking fish. Until now, the geometry of skeletal muscle bi o-actuators has been constrained to ring- or block-like tissues generally differ entiated around a pair of pillars due to the need to oppose the contraction forc e exerted during the skeletal muscle differentiation process.
