Jellyfish robot to Create a Human Organ

Robot Jellyfish

CALIFORNIA - The jellyfish becomes scary for marine animals as sea divers are quite deadly sting. However, in addition to the "savage" who owned the animal, the jellyfish inspire scientists to create a robot jellyfish (jellyfish) to support the revolutionary treatment procedure.

Robot versions of living creatures in the sea like an umbrella that was made by scientists and will be used to create artificial human organs like the heart. Named Medusoid, taken from Greek mythology, the snake-haired Medusa.

Jellyfish robot that can move in water and capable of creating a network. The scientists got the idea after seeing how the jellyfish and the human heart can pump the same way.

They use silicon and rat heart cells to create a similar elastic material with a "jelly". "I am surprised that with relatively few components, we were able to reproduce the (motion) is quite complex pool and eating behavior that you see in the biological jellyfish," says John Dabiri of the California Institute of Technology, as reported by Metro on Monday (23 / 7/2012).

John revealed that he was surprised how closely related scientists can match the performance of natural biological and how scientists look at how to improve the performance of such a natural. "The evolution of the miss many good solutions," he added.

"As engineers, we are very comfortable building something from steel, concrete, copper. I think of cells as other types of building substrates (base), but we need rigorous design specifications to move the tissue engineering of arts and crafts, for the type of engineering that can reproduced, "said Kevin Parker of Harvard University.

According to the study of Nature Biotechnology, the ilmuwam wish to design their own operating Medusoid using internal signals, such as the human heart and find their own food. Thus, the robot can be put into humans for years without using battery power.
