Abstract

Biological materials can adaptively respond to their environment, motivating their use as functional components of engineered machines. In article number 1700030, Rashid Bashir and co-workers present a skeletal muscle-powered bio-hybrid robot (bio-bot) that can adapt to loss-of-function damage stimuli, completely healing and recovering functionality within two days. This presents a significant step forward in developing robust, resilient, and dynamically responsive biohybrid machines.
