将活细胞成分与三维支架相结合以产生运动的生物工程方法可用于开发新一代微型机器人。将机载电子设备和远程控制集成到这些生物机器中将使工程、生物学和医学领域的各种应用成为可能。在这里，我们展示了配备无电池和微无机发光二极管的混合生物电子机器人，用于无线控制和实时通信。厘米级步行机器人经过计算设计和优化，可承载机载光电器件，对多个光生骨骼肌进行独立刺激，实现个人和集体层面的步行、转弯、犁地和运输功能的远程控制。这项工作为一类能够将生物驱动和传感与机载计算结合起来的生物混合机器铺平了道路。
Bioengineering approaches that combine living cellular components with three-dimensional scaffolds to generate motion can be used to develop a new generation of miniature robots. Integrating on-board electronics and remote control in these biological machines will enable various applications across engineering, biology, and medicine. Here, we present hybrid bioelectronic robots equipped with battery-free and microinorganic light-emitting diodes for wireless control and real-time communication. Centimeter-scale walking robots were computationally designed and optimized to host on-board optoelectronics with independent stimulation of multiple optogenetic skeletal muscles, achieving remote command of walking, turning, plowing, and transport functions both at individual and collective levels. This work paves the way toward a class of biohybrid machines able to combine biological actuation and sensing with on-board computing.
