scientists, Combining mushrooms with robotic technology To find out, he conducted an interesting experiment. Researchers from Cornell University and the University of Florence grew Pleurotus eryngii (king oyster mushroom) integrated it into a robot body.

Researchers, electrical reactions of the fungus developed two different mobile devices that detect environmental signals using These devices, which respond to stimuli such as UV light, used the mushroom’s responses to control a five-legged soft robot and a four-wheeled vehicle. In this way, the fungus’s electrophysiological activities were converted into mechanical movements.

A new dimension of robots with the electric power of mushrooms

mushrooms responses to environmental changes with robotic technologies This research, which shows how this can be integrated, provides important findings. Rob Shepherd of Cornell University stated that the ability of fungi to sense and respond to their environment provides important information about how they can be used in biohybrid systems.

Such research has the potential to develop nature-compatible solutions that go beyond technological innovations. It seems possible that such systems will bring about significant changes in agriculture, the environment and health in the future.
