Biological materials can adaptively respond to their environment, motivating their use as functional components of engineered machines. In article number 1700030 , Rashid Bashir and co‐workers present a skeletal muscle‐powered bio‐hybrid robot (bio‐bot) that can adapt to loss‐of‐function damage stimuli, completely healing and recovering functionality within two days. This presents a significant step forward in developing robust, resilient, and dynamically responsive biohybrid machines.
