What happens when you fuse living organisms with robots? Welcome to the strange and fascinating world of biohybrid robotics—a field where mushrooms can power robot bodies, and plant-inspired designs influence next-gen machines. In this episode, we explore the science of merging biology and engineering, from nanoscale soft robots to marine-life-inspired movement. We’ll also unpack the ethical questions driving global policy discussions: Who controls the living parts of these machines, and how far should we go in blending life with technology?
