Autonomous vehicles are said to be safer than human drivers – but would you trust a mushroom behind the wheel? A new kind of “biohybrid” robot moves in response to signals from the nervous system of a ...

Scientists in Japan have made a robot face covered in living, self-healing skin that can smile in a demonstration of a new technique researchers believe could help pave the way for lifelike biohybrid ...

Scientists have developed living microrobot swarms made from algae and nanoparticles that can assemble ...

In 2014, researchers at the University of Illinois created a microscopic swimming robot. This accomplishment alone might not have attracted much attention. But what set it apart was how they ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed an innovative cyborg by integrating robotic parts with living organisms, specifically using a mushroom brain and fungal self-healing skin. This ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world, engineers have built tiny walkers, swimmers and gripping devices powered ...

Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate "biohybrid robots" made ...
