Sea slug muscle and 3D printed body used to build 'Cyborg' robot

Combining tissues from a sea slug with flexible 3D printed components, researchers have built a “cyborg” robot that may one day help them probe the depths of fresh and saltwater with ease. The “biohybrid” robot with the ability to crawl like sea turtles was developed by the researchers at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio. “We’re building a living machine – a biohybrid robot that’s not completely organic yet,” said Victoria Webster who is leading the research. The researchers chose the sea slug because the animal is durable down to its cells, withstanding substantial changes in temperature, salinity and more as Pacific Ocean tides shift its environment between deep water and shallow pools.
