Sep 4, 2024 · “By growing mycelium into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment,” said Rob Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and...
Sep 4, 2024 · Robert Shepherd, a senior author of a study published in Scientific Robotics last month, said: "Mechanisms, including computing, understanding and action as a response, are done in the biological world and in the artificial world that humans have created, and biology most of the time is better at it than our artificial systems are."
Sep 6, 2024 · “This paper is the first of many that will use the fungal kingdom to provide environmental sensing and command signals to robots to improve their levels of autonomy,” explains Robert Shepherd, a...

Sep 16, 2024 · Robert Shepherd / Science.org. A new type of robot has been created by scientists which is controlled by a mushroom. The kind of mushroom used to power the creation is a king trumpet which controls the movement of the two biohybrid robots instead of the typical power sources such as mains electricity or battery.
Sep 4, 2024 · By growing the mushroom’s mycelium, or rootlike threads, into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by harnessing electrical signals made by the fungus and its sensitivity to light.
