Mushroom Learns to Crawl After Researchers Give It a Robotic Body

Quick Summary:

The hardware can "isolate faint electrical signals from living mycelium," which walked in response to UV light, a researcher told Decrypt.

To prove the robustness of our solution, the lead author Anand Mishra used UV light inputs to control both a wheeled and walking robot.

The goal of the work has been to use the mycelium to detect issues with the soil and respond to them.“Mycelium is in the soil anyway, tapping into their signaling pathways to measure soil health would be a nice win,” he said.
