    Powered by muscle cells, a paper-thin robot swims through a watery maze

    MIT engineers have developed a soft, paper-thin robot that swims through water using a single layer of genetically engineered muscle cells. The robot's 'fins' are covered with live muscle cells that twitch in response to light, allowing it to flap and navigate through a watery maze. The study demonstrates the potential of biohybrid robots for delicate aquatic tasks, with the robot achieving a swimming speed of about four times its body length per minute.

    Robotic Servicing Mission Launches with NASA Support

    The Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) mission, supported by NASA, has launched with a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) will service satellites in geosynchronous orbit using advanced robotics, including twin dexterous arms developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. NASA's support includes simulation tools, software analysis, and flight operators to enable in-orbit servicing and extend satellite lifespans.
