Sensor‐Embedded Muscle for Closed‐Loop Controllable Actuation in Proprioceptive Biohybrid Robots
Skeletal muscle tissue‐based bioactuators move in response to externally applied electrical stimuli in open‐loop control, which lacks knowledge of the actuator's state. Herein, a soft and fiber‐shaped piezoresistive mechanosensor that integrates with the soft tissue and operates in the cell culture environment is used to create the first proprioceptive

Fabrication of Ring-shaped Bioactuator Powered by Cardiomyocytes
We have proposed a novel use of pulsating living cells as a driving source for a micro bio-actuator. Cardiyomyocytes contract autonomously using chemical energy. But, contractile force of a single cardiomyocyte is not enough to actuate a micro robot or a
