Scientists design a two-legged robot powered by muscle tissue

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. This method allows the robot to walk and pivot.

A two-legged robot powered by muscle tissue? Now that's taking bioengineering to a whole new level! I can already picture these muscle-powered robots strutting their stuff on the catwalk, showing off their fancy moves. Who needs human models when we have biohybrid fashion shows?
