An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
Engineers have developed a biohybrid robot that uses a living fungus to move and sense its environment, potentially leading to advancements in living robotics.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledLiving systems respond to touch, they respond to light, they respond to heat, they respond to even some unknowns, like signals.
The biohybrid robot uses electrical signals from an edible type of mushroom called a king trumpet in order to move around and sense its environment.
The machine could herald a new era of living robotics.
