Abstract
In this study, we proposed a reconstructed bio machine which was controlled by neural signals to understand biological systems. A PDMS micro hand was assembled with a living skeletal muscle gel. Rat skeletal cells were mixed with collagen gel to construct three-dimensional artificial tissues for the actuator of the bio machine. The skeletal muscle gel had similar properties with natural skeletal muscle tissues. The contraction displacement was determined by frequency of electrical stimulation. This micro hand was successful controlled by estimated neural signals from surface electromyogram (EMG). We could control the displacement of the PDMS micro hand by using EMG signal.
