Abstract
An apparatus comprises a soft robotic arm and a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinter. The soft robotic arm has actuators for controlling movements of a distal end of the soft robotic arm. The 3D bioprinter is attached to the distal end of the soft robotic arm, and has a print nozzle and soft microtubule artificial muscles (SMAMs) for controlling movements of the print nozzle.
