【#Tech24H】A research team from the National University of Singapore has developed a platform that allows lab-grown muscle tissue to undergo self-training without external stimulation. The researchers mechanically coupled two muscle tissues to continuously stretch each other, with their natural contraction process effectively providing round-the-clock exercise. Based on this method, they built a swimming robot powered by living muscle, achieving a swimming speed of 467 millimeters per minute, the fastest ever recorded for a biohybrid robot driven by skeletal muscle.
