Yeast-Driven and Bioimpedance-Sensitive Biohybrid Soft Robots.
Article in Cyborg and bionic systems (Washington, D.C.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Biohybrid robots integrate biological components with synthetic materials to harness the unique capabilities of living systems for robotic functions. This study focuses on leveraging yeast fermentation dynamics to enable actuation and sensing in soft robotic systems. By leveraging yeast's natural ability to produce carbon dioxide and generate pressure during fermentation, we demonstrate the feasibility of creating biohybrid robots with lifelike behavior and adaptability. Our research integrates bioimpedance sensing into track yeast behavior and metabolic dynamics in real time. We developed an adjustable single-resistor oscillator circuit by using a digital potentiometer to measure impedance frequency and model the yeast growth rate. Experimental results reveal the sensitivity of the single-resistor oscillator circuit to variations in yeast concentration and demonstrate the correlation between yeast behavior and actuation power. Furthermore, we highlight the potential of yeast-driven robots for various applications by demonstrating a yeast-driven soft limb capable of rotating 140° tested at different temperatures, an inflatable membrane actuator functioning as a tactile sensor detecting forces up to 4.5 N, a palpation probe for differentiating tissue stiffness, and a gripper capable of manipulating objects. This work lays the foundation for advancing biohybrid robotics by integrating yeast fermentation dynamics with bioimpedance sensing, enhancing the functionality of robotic systems.
