Abstract

Abstract : Biohybrid Robots The next robotics frontier will be led by biohybrids, robots that incorporate living biological cells and tissue, which are addressed by Miriam Filippi, Robert K. Katzschmann, and co‐workers in article number 2108427 . Microfluidics substantially contributes to the development of biological tissue in vitro, as microfluidic flow control enables fluid regulation at the microscale and fine tissue structuring during biofabrication. Microfluidics will advance the co‐assembly, scale‐up, and integration of biohybrid robots, and make these robots performant and functional for real‐world use.
