Key examples include nanoscale molecular motor-powered actuators, microscale bacteria-controlled devices, and macroscale muscle-powered robots that grasp, walk, and swim. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities in the field are addressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.annualreviews.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1146\/annurev-bioeng-071114-040632\">Read the article<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam is the author\u00a0of a\u00a0recent article in the\u00a0Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering\u00a0entitled \u201cBiological Soft Robotics.\u201d This review describes how molecular motors are hierarchically organized into larger-scale structures in order to provide a basic understanding of how these systems work in nature and the complexity and functionality we hope to replicate in biological soft robotics.\u00a0These span &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/?p=1001\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8220;Biological Soft Robotics&#8221;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4,5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1001"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1039,"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001\/revisions\/1039"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/96"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regenerativebiomaterials.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
