A novel bio-actuator possessing both mechanical and chemical function, and utilizing cells as materials was design, and operable mechano-bionic systems driven by chemical energy was successfully developed. The group has presented a bio-actuator using rat heart muscle cells. What’s more, to improve the robust of the bio-actuators, insect cells, which are much robust over a range of culture conditions (temperature, osmotic pressure and pH) compared to mammalian cells, are used for a hybrid wet robotic system, and these robots can be driven without precise environmental control. 从这个角度来看，利用这种功能化系统的鲁棒性、自组装性能、以及其卓越的新功能，去建立一种柔软的、湿式的机器系统将会为未来的人造系统提供创新性的原理和设计方面的改变。实验结果证明了利用活体生物材料构建具有功能的混合湿式机器人系统的可能性，并提出了一种新科技在生物机器人技术、医学、环境监测、农业和工业等方面的应用。 From this point of view, to utilize robust biological components as a functional systems and self assembly process and their emergent functionality, and to build up such soft and wet machines will provide an innovative fundamental change and produce a new principle and design to future man-made systems. Experimental results suggest the possibility of constructing an environmentally robust hybrid wet robotic system with living components and open up a new science and technology, bio-robotic approach, medical, environmental monitoring, agriculture and industrial application. |
