For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

A team of roboticists at the Beijing Institute of Technology, working with a pair of colleagues from the Technical University of Munich, has created a new kind of rat robot—one that was designed to ...

In an astonishing blend of robotics and nature, SMEO—a robot rat designed by researchers in China and Germany — is fooling real rats into treating it like one of their own. What sets SMEO apart is its ...

Harvard scientists developed a virtual rat model with an AI brain to study how brains control the movement of real rats. This innovative model accurately simulates neural activity observed in real ...

'Brain-in-a-jar' biocomputers can now learn to control robots Living brain cells wired into organoid-on-a-chip biocomputers can now learn to drive robots, thanks to an open-source intelligent ...

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Chimeras, fictional creatures made up of a combination of body parts from different animals, such as the mythological Minotaur, have captivated thinkers, philosophers and scientists throughout history ...
