Bio-syncretic robots consisting of artificial structures and living muscle cells have attracted much attention owing to their potential advantages, such as high drive efficiency, miniaturization, and compatibility. Motion controllability, as an important factor related to the main performance of bio-syncretic robots, has been explored in numerous studies. However, most of the existing bio-syncretic robots still face challenges related to the further development of steerable kinematic dexterity. In this study, a bionic optimized biped fully soft bio-syncretic robot actuated by two muscle tissues and steered with a direction-controllable electric field generated by external circularly distributed multiple electrodes has been developed. The developed bio-syncretic robot could realize wirelessly steerable motion and effective transportation of microparticle cargo on artificial polystyrene and biological pork tripe surfaces. This study may provide an effective strategy for the development of bio-syncretic robots and other related studies, such as nonliving soft robot design and muscle tissue engineering.

通过仿生优化双足机械设计转向基于肌肉的生物融合机器人。


由人工结构和活体肌肉细胞组成的类生物机器人因其驱动效率高、小型化和兼容性等潜在优势而备受关注。运动可控性作为关系到类生命机器人主要性能的重要因素，已被大量研究探索。然而，大多数现有的类生命机器人仍然面临着进一步发展可操纵运动灵活性的挑战。在这项研究中，开发了一种仿生优化的双足全软仿生机器人，由两个肌肉组织驱动，并通过外部圆形分布的多个电极产生的方向可控电场进行转向。所开发的仿生机器人可以在人造聚苯乙烯和生物猪肚表面实现无线导向运动和微粒货物的有效运输。这项研究可能为类生命机器人的发展以及非生命软体机器人设计和肌肉组织工程等其他相关研究提供有效的策略。
