    Recent advancements in robotics leverage biological inspiration and integration to achieve more adaptable and resilient systems. In this keynote, I will explore the frontier of biohybrid and musculoskeletal robotics, highlighting how getting inspired by or even incorporating living tissues and musculoskeletal architectures into robotic platforms can enhance interaction with complex environments. Through real-world examples and demonstrations, we will discuss novel designs that bridge biology and robotics, starting the journey towards designs with more dexterity, adaptability, and sustainability. We will discuss potential impacts on healthcare, environmental monitoring, and human-machine interaction. Join us to learn more about the convergence of bioinspiration and robotics, opening pathways toward more life-like machines that promise to transform numerous fields and improve quality of life.
