👉 Muscle engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, materials science, and mechanical engineering to design, develop, and optimize artificial muscles for various applications. This process involves creating synthetic muscle tissues or devices that mimic the properties and functions of natural muscles, such as contraction, elasticity, and responsiveness to stimuli like electrical signals or chemical triggers. Researchers use techniques such as biomaterials synthesis, tissue engineering, and advanced fabrication methods to construct these artificial muscles. These engineered muscles can be used in robotics for more lifelike movements, in prosthetics to enhance functionality and comfort, in medical devices for targeted drug delivery or rehabilitation, and even in wearable technology for adaptive support systems. The goal is to achieve high performance, durability, and biocompatibility, ultimately bridging the gap between synthetic and biological muscle systems.
