Biohybrid Walkers In article number 2000237 , Rashid Bashir, Mattia Gazzola, and co‐workers present a maneuverable dual‐ring biohybrid walker designed and selected through a systematic approach based on modeling, simulation, and fabrication. This dual‐ring biobot consists of two tissue‐engineered muscle ring actuators and a 3D‐printed four‐legged scaffold asymmetric in the fore/aft direction. The integration of two independent muscles on a flexible body, combined with external electrical stimulation, provides the dual‐ring biobot with directional walking and rotational steering abilities.
