Original Text
Robots one day might even be made of living muscle cells. Wouldn't it be great if such a living robot would then heal itself, just like human muscles do? I can tell you this. Starting from muscle cells, we can already print, grow and stimulate muscles. We are now beginning to make these muscles larger, longer-lasting and controllable. It’s a fascinating challenge to engineer a standalone muscle without a supporting organism that provides this muscle with an immune system. These living muscles efficiently convert chemical energy that comes from nutrients into muscle contractions. Living muscles can eventually become sustainable and biodegradable machines that decrease emissions and pollution all while actually truly mimicking nature.
