| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Biohybrid robotics that integrates living components into synthetic structures is currently one of the most challenging fields of robotics. We present an overview of muscle actuated biohybrid devices from the viewpoint of engineering. The techniques to improve oxygen supply like microfluidics would relieve limits on size of muscle bundles. It was also shown that electrical stimulation easily enhance the contractile force of tissue engineered muscle.
