A robot that runs on mushrooms. 🤖🍄
Engineers have designed a new type of robot that’s powered by living fungi. This biohybrid robot uses electrical signals from an edible mushroom called the king trumpet to navigate and sense its surroundings.
Created by a diverse team from Cornell University in the US and Florence University in Italy, this machine could kick off a whole new era in living robotics.
