I am always amazed by some of the things scientists come up with!

Researchers from Cornell University and University of Florence in Italy wanted to see if electrical signals pulsing through the mycelium of fungi could be translated into a controlling input for robots. The findings were published last month in the journal Science Robotics. They were ultimately able to create a system capable of analyzing and processing naturally occurring electrical signals sent throughout the mycelium. Those data points were then translated into a “digital control signal” which, when beamed to a pair of robots, caused them to move.
