Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have created fully printed artificial neurons that successfully sent signals to living mouse brain cells, marking a milestone in biohybrid computing. The flexible ...

Czech playwright Karel Capek coined the word “robot” in his seminal 1920 work, “Rossum’s Universal Robots.” In this dark piece of sci-fi, the term described flesh-and-blood laborers made from organic ...

The device could help address multiple neurological conditions if it proves successful. One early use could be delivering ...

Princeton University researchers have created a 3D bioelectronic device that integrates living brain cells with embedded electronics, enabling low-power pattern recognition. The biohybrid system could ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) in collaboration with the University of Freiburg have developed a biohybrid robot, which consists of a flour-based ...

A wearable sensor system that predicts fatigue at work. A tiny implant that delivers diabetes drugs on demand. A flexible patch that optimizes the sense of touch for the visually impaired. Through the ...

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 ...

The realm of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is witnessing a paradigm shift with the advent of living bio-materials. These materials are being harnessed to fabricate objects through a process of ...

An autonomously swimming biohybrid fish, designed with a focus on two key regulatory features of the human heart, has revealed the importance of feedback mechanisms in muscular pumps (such as the ...
