Genetically engineered microbes make muscle fibers that are stronger than Kevlar.

New biologically created muscle fibers are stronger than Kevlar. Those fibers are made, by using genetically engineered microbes. Those new fibers are one of the biggest advancements in biotechnology. 

And they can use it in things like satellite return. In that kind of mission returning unit will shoot ropes to the satellite. Or the returning unit can use a hand net. That is made by using that new biomaterial. 

Ropes made of that material are extremely strong. So they can use in cases, where is a need for extremely long but the lightweight rope. And that means the operators can use the pocket-size long ropes that are very long and that can be in pocket-size yarn-ball. 


But those fibers can also be a big step for robotics. 


There is the possibility that those genomes that allow microbes to generate muscle cells that are stronger than kevlar can transform into muscle cells. That thing can make the superhuman. Or those extremely tough artificial muscles can use the next-generation "power suits" or robots. 

Those futuristic power suits are made for similar purposes as the HULC-exoskeletons. But those systems are more flexible. The artificial muscles give those suits the ability to increase the user's strength. Or they can use to create robots that are similar to humans, except those robots are stronger than humans. 

The artificial muscles can follow the commands that are coming from microchips. Living muscle tissue requires nutrients that can be some kind of liver. Or some other thing that fits cells as a nutrient. 

The user can control those suits by using implanted microchips. Or they can use helmets. That makes it possible to use BCI (Brain-computer interface" with those systems. The wearable "power suit" can follow the movements of the joints and give electric signals to artificial muscles.

But using remote-controlled robots. Even if they look like humans, is possible to use mice and regular computers. The AI makes it possible that if a robot falls. It can rise automatically. And it can make things like climbing slopes without human assistance. If the programmers want that robot makes some new tricks they must create a new program module. 

The thing is that controllers can also control human-looking robots by using computers. And mice and joysticks. AI can make those robots semi-automatic. That means those robots can travel long distances, and when they are in their operational area, they are asking for new instructions. 

That means the controller must just select the mode. That the robot uses, from the interface. And then the robot can make its mission. So each icon in the user interface makes the robot download the new mission profile. The container programming makes it possible to change those modules very easily. Those robots can look like a human, but the difference is that they are machines that use genetically engineered tissues.
