How Fungi Are Used to Create the Robots of the Future?
Imagine a robot that moves like a starfish, inching its way across a wooden floor—not powered by conventional batteries or cords, but driven by signals from mushrooms. This is not science fiction but the latest breakthrough from researchers at Cornell University, who have developed robots controlled by fungi, presenting a groundbreaking step in biohybrid robotics. What Are Biohybrid Robots? Biohybrid robotics is a revolutionary field that merges plant, animal, and fungal cells with synthetic materials to create robots that are
