Experimentation by the University of Tokyo. The muscle tissue prompted the robot to crawl and swim easily and make turns
The cyborg age is not yet a reality. But science fiction novels and the big screen have already given us a broad taste of it. Just think of the Terminator saga, the murderous cyborg played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. A cybernetic organism: living tissue on a metal endoskeleton. In a laboratory at the Center for International Research on Integrative Biomedical Systems (CIBiS) at the Institute of Industrial Sciences at the University of Tokyo, Professor Shoji Takeuchi and his research team have created a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissue and artificial materials. Published on January 26 in the magazine «Matter», this method allows the robot to walk and rotate.
