Abstract
Soft actuators powered by skeletal muscle cells provide robots flexibility and adaptability. In developing actuators, reproducibility must be ensured. For this, We used a 3D-Bioprinter. The 3D bio-printer can set print parameters according to a program. Opposed to the conventional methods, the skeletal muscle cell-driven actuator can be produced automatically, while ensuring reproducibility. 3D-Bioprinter has huge merits, however, there are many problems in order to develop cell-driven actuators. In this work, we used BIO X (3D bio-printer, CELLINK) and examined materials and culture methods. We successfully printed GelMA and Collagen 1 A and cultured cells in both Attached Gel culture and gel embedded culture.
Supported partially by grant in aid for scientific research on JP18H05467, and JP17K19978 from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.
