What are some examples of biohybrid robots that integrate living cells or tissues with artificial components, and how do these robots leverage biological principles for energy efficiency, self-healing, or adaptive behavior in soft robotics and biomedical applications?

Examples include muscle-powered biohybrid actuators, cell-based biosensors, and tissue-engineered robotic platforms. These robots combine living cells or tissues with synthetic materials to create hybrid systems with biological and mechanical functionalities, such as contracting muscles for locomotion, sensing biochemical signals, or repairing damaged tissues in medical devices or regenerative medicine applications.
