Abstract in brief
- The study describes the creation of a biohybrid soft robotic ray inspired by stingrays and skates, which uses tissue engineering techniques such as patterning rat cardiomyocytes on an elastomeric body to mimic fish morphology and fin movements.
- The system employs optogenetics to control movement with light, allowing the artificial ray to follow light cues, steer, and perform turning maneuvers by sequential muscle activation in specific patterns.
- By adjusting light frequency and independently stimulating the fins, the biohybrid ray can control its speed and direction, enabling it to navigate through an obstacle course effectively.]
