Nobody knows what sleeping mushrooms dream of when their vast mycelial networks flicker and pulse with electrochemical responses akin to those of our own brain cells. But given a chance, what might ...

Engineers have created a new type of robot that places living fungi behind the controls. The biohybrid robot uses electrical signals from an edible type of mushroom called a king trumpet in order to ...

A B.C.-based startup that makes artificial intelligence (AI)-run mushroom harvesting robots says a recent $40-million investment will help the company remain at the cutting edge of autonomous ...

Researchers at Cornell University tapped into fungal mycelia to power a pair of proof-of-concept robots. Mycelia, the underground fungal network that can sprout mushrooms as its above-ground fruit, ...

In a world where robots can drive cars (albeit with obstacles) and write code, it was only a matter of time before one started picking mushrooms, and that's exactly what's happening at 4AG Robotics.

(CNN) — A wheeled bot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving with an awkward shuffle. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple ...
