Muscle, for example, is a very effective, biodegradable replacement for an electric actuator that can run in a nutrient-rich fluid without the need for any other power source. Bio-robotics experts in Illinois have demonstrated a walking bio-bot built from 3-D printed hydrogel and spinal muscle tissue that can "walk" in response to an electrical signal. Their next step will be trying to incorporate neurons that can get the bot walking in different directions when faced with different stimuli. <a href="/web/20140712034821/http://www.gizmag.com/walking-bio-robot-spinal-muscle/32804/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32779"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20140712034821/http://www.gizmag.com/urbantransport/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">URBAN TRANSPORT</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140712034821/http://www.gizmag.com/bizmo-ii-electric-commercial-delivery-scooter/32779/">Terra Motors delivers Bizmo II long-range, electric, commercial scooter</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140712034821/http://www.gizmag.com/author/loz-blain/">Loz Blain</a></div> <div class="date">July 1, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140712034821/http://www.gizmag.com/bizmo-ii-electric-commercial-delivery-scooter/32779/#comments">2 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140712034821/http://www.gizmag.com/bizmo-ii-electric-commercial-delivery-scooter/32779/pictures">17 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140712034821/http://www.gizmag.com/bizmo-ii-electric-commercial-delivery-scooter/32779/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034821im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bizmo-ii-electric-commercial-scooter-16.jpg" title="The Bizmo II, from Terra Motors, with large delivery box on the back and a smaller box on ..." alt="The Bizmo II, from Terra Motors, with large delivery box on the back and a smaller box on ..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> The Bizmo II from Terra Motors is a small, light, electric commercial scooter with generous carrying capacity that gets a 150-km (93 mi) range out of its 3.17 kWh battery.
