Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

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 ...

Sign up for CNN’s Wonder Theory science newsletter. Explore the universe with news on fascinating discoveries, scientific advancements and more. A wheeled bot rolls ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

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 ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking biohybrid robotic hand that utilizes lab-grown human ...
