From small soft machines to muscle-powered pumps, biohybrid robots are expanding possibilities in medicine and engineering. In a review for the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, Dr. Su Ryon Shin and her team at Harvard Medical School highlight advances in biofabrication, from 3D bioprinting to microfluidics that integrate living muscle cells with robotic systems. Their roadmap outlines how these technologies could move biohybrid robotics from lab concepts to real-world tools for regenerative medicine, drug testing, and disease modeling.
