BIOPIX, a retina-inspired biohybrid image sensor combining biological liquid environments with organic electronics to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Harvard and Emory University have created a biohybrid fish out of human heart muscle cells that can swim autonomously for months at a time as the cells beat. The project is a quirky ...

Researchers in Japan have taken a major step forward in biohybrid robotics by developing a hand powered by lab-grown muscle tissue. A collaborative effort between the University of Tokyo and Waseda ...

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 ...

In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. As impressive as many biohybrid robotic projects are, they aren ...

(CN) — A fusion of biology and mechanics, a new biohybrid robot can make small turns thanks to silicone, muscle tissue and electricity. Conventional biohybrid robots walk while moving forward so they ...

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 ...

Researchers from Harvard and Emory University report that they have developed the first fully-autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish swims by ...
