Bioactuators
Bioactuators are devices that convert biological signals into mechanical motion. They are a type of actuator that utilizes biological materials or processes to generate movement. Bioactuators can be found in various biological systems, such as muscles in animals, which convert chemical energy from ATP into mechanical work. In the field of bioengineering, bioactuators are being developed to mimic these natural systems for use in medical devices, prosthetics, and robotics.
One of the most well-known types of bioactuators is the muscle-based actuator, which uses muscle tissue to
Bioactuators offer several advantages over traditional actuators, including their ability to operate in wet environments, their
