ETH Zurich uses mouse muscle tissue to enable tiny biohybrid robots to jump, swim, walk and grasp

A research team at ETH Zurich published a study in Nature Communications in which they used computer simulation to co-design mouse skeletal muscle tissue and a soft hydrogel scaffold as an integrated whole, producing a biological actuator about 1.5 centimeters long with a range of motion up to 11 times that of existing systems with the same amount of muscle.
