Abstract Synopsis

  • In biomimetic design, researchers aim to replicate biological structures to create functional devices, but challenges arise due to differences in scale that affect performance.
  • Machine learning-directed optimization (ML-DO) has been shown to be more effective than other techniques, like Bayesian optimization, in designing biohybrid robotic swimmers with enhanced performance.
  • This research successfully maximizes thrust in a tissue-engineered robotic swimmer, enabling it to swim effectively at a smaller scale while maintaining natural locomotive principles.
