Abstract Synopsis

  • The text discusses biohybrid robots that mimic human muscle behavior, specifically focusing on how their muscle layers can be designed for controlled movements.
  • It explains that these robots use patterned planar muscle layers to achieve precise and unique muscle contractions, similar to how the human iris functions.
  • This approach allows for the development of biohybrid devices with adjustable and predictable movements, which could have applications in robotics and medicine.]
