Examples of cardiomyocyte-powered devices. A: A three-legged crawler driven by cardiomyocyte actuation of long cantilever-based legs (34). B: A spermatozoa inspired biohybrid device that swims due to cardiomyocytes driving the actuation of a long filamentous tail (31). C: A jellyfish-inspired device in which mircopatterning is used to direct the growth of cardiomyocytes seeded on the radial arms (32). D: A stingray inspired device powered by optogenetically modified cardiomyocytes to facilitate steering (33).
