Original Title: Fungus learns to drive in “biohybrid” robots - Scientists create a new kind of “biohybrid” robot that moves in response to signals from the nervous system of a fungus. They grew the mycelium directly into the electronics of a robot, tapping into those natural signals to drive the machine.
