Co-optimized volumetric muscle design for large dynamic deformations in versatile biohybrid robots

Biohybrid robots use engineered living muscle tissue as actuators, offering self-organization, adaptability, and self-healing. Current designs focus on improving muscle physiology but overlook the interplay between muscle and scaffold in the robot’s function. We present a computational and experimental pipeline to co-o...
