Organoids as Building Blocks for Adaptive and Resilient Biohybrid Robots
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biohybrid robots combine engineered living tissues with synthetic materials and have emerged as a promising class of soft robotic systems capable of mimicking biological functions such as biodegradability, energy efficiency and flexible motions. By integrating biological and synthetic components, these systems leverage complementary properties

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.
