Researchers at The Grainger College of Engineering are developing biohybrid robots, mimicking muscles to better understand ...

Scientists in Japan have made a robot face covered in living, self-healing skin that can smile in a demonstration of a new technique researchers believe could help pave the way for lifelike biohybrid ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world, engineers have built tiny walkers, swimmers and gripping devices powered ...

Our muscles are nature’s actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate “biohybrid robots” made ...

Muscle cell powered biohybrid robots, including jellyfish, worm, fish, and butterfly based models, and the main factors influencing their performance. It also illustrates fabrication techniques, ...

The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...

Paper in Science Robotics presents ML application that efficiently delivers high-performance design and 2x swimming efficiency compared to rays developed biomimetically “This research seeks to answer ...

Structure—metal or plastic components bolted together in a traditional robot; the body in a biological structure or biohybrid robot; Actuators—the device that causes the structure to move (e.g. a ...

As robotics continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the innovations of October 2025 have especially stood out for their potential to revolutionize industries and improve our daily lives. This month, ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have combined tissues from a sea slug with flexible 3-D printed components to build “biohybrid” robots that crawl like sea turtles on the beach. A muscle ...

Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then linked the tendons to a robotic gripper's fingers. (Nanowerk News) Our ...
