Living muscle tissue and cells have been attracted as an actuator candidate. In particular, an insect dorsal vessel (DV) tissue is well suited for an actuator since it is capable of contracting spontaneously and more environmentally robust under culturing conditions compared with mammalian tissue and cells. Here we demonstrate a temperature-tolerant microrobot powered by insect DV tissue. A polypod...
In this paper, we proposed to utilize a reconstructed cardiac tissue as microactuator with easy assembly. In a glucose solution, cardiomyocytes can contract autonomously using only chemical energy. However, a single cardiomyocyte is not enough to actuate a microrobot or a mechanical system. Though the output power will increase by using multiple cardiomyocyte, it is difficult to assemble those cardiomyocyte...
