3. What is BioMachine?

• Device or system that combines biological components with engineered parts to perform specific functions.

​

• Examples of BioMachines include:

1. Artificial organs: Devices like synthetic hearts or kidneys that use both biological and mechanical components to recapitulate the functions of natural organs.

2. Biohybrid robots: Robots that incorporate living tissues, such as muscle cells, to move or respond to stimuli.

​

• In essence, BioMachines combine the principles of biology and engineering

     to create hybrid systems capable of complex tasks

     that neither purely biological nor purely mechanical systems could achieve alone.
