7月3日,美国伊利诺伊大学的研究人员宣布,他们研制出了用在实验室培养出来的骨骼肌肉细胞来行走的微型机器人。这个机器人由生物和机械的部分组成,靠电流来控制,利用肌肉伸缩推动自身行走。2012年时,研究人员用老鼠的心脏细胞研发出类似的生化机器人,不过心脏细胞收缩频率太高,微型机器人不太受控制。这次他们改用了比较活跃的人体的骨骼细胞,机器
On July 3, researchers at the University of Illinois at Illinois announced that they have developed a miniature robot that uses skeletal muscle cells that are cultured in a laboratory to walk. The robot is made up of biological and mechanical parts that are controlled by current and use their muscles to stretch and push themselves to walk. In 2012, researchers developed similar biochemical robots using mouse heart cells, but the heart cells contracted too frequently, and the micro-robots were less controlled. This time they switched to the more active body’s bone cells and machines
