Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explores using fungal mycelia as a living, durable component in biohybrid robots by leveraging their electrical activity to control robot movements and respond to environmental stimuli.
  • It introduces innovations such as a shielded electrical interface for stable long-term recordings and a control system inspired by neural networks that translate mycelial signals into robotic actions.
  • The researchers successfully demonstrated this approach with both a soft walking robot and a wheeled robot, showing that mycelia can sense the environment using light stimulation to change robot behaviors.]
