THESE BIOBOTS SHOW SOME REAL MUSCLE

The video discusses the development of biobots, tiny biological robots inspired by natural movement. Bioengineer Rashid Bashir and his team at the University of Illinois are creating these biobots using 3D printing technology to form skeletons from polymers. Muscle tissue engineered with mouse cells is added to these skeletons, allowing the biobots to move. The team aims to enhance biobots with neurons for automatic reactions to substances like cancer cells. Potential applications include drug screening, toxic cleanup, and medical treatments. The vision is to create biological devices that contribute to healthier lives and a cleaner environment.
