Biohybrid muscle can jump, swim and walk

According to Golem, cultivated muscle tissue becomes considerably more mobile than before thanks to a new structure. The report names the construction of biohybrid robots, i.e. systems that use living tissue as their actuator, as a possible application.

Context

The available source is a short report without details on measurements, experimental setup or publication in a specialist journal. Whether the breakthrough proves itself in practical robots therefore remains open. For companies, any benefit is likely to be conditional and long-term; the source does not support a firmer conclusion.
