0.83 millimetres per second is only the beginning.
That is some very slow, very creepy mechanical meat movement, though it happens to be the fastest speed ever achieved by a biohybrid robot. It's been able to use and move objects, get through a maze, and can even use swappable tools. Plus, it's all wireless without any onboard power, and looks a lot more palatable than our friend OSCAR.
Biohybrid tech is a recent development compared to traditional robotics, which is why we don't expect it to keep pace with more mechanical builds. It can have potential advantages like reacting intuitively to things harder bots might miss, like heat, lights like those LED chips, or perhaps chemicals. Biohybrids might even reproduce, which while I'm sure is potentially useful is definitely something I'm going to be thinking about silently in terror all day.
Given how new these robots are, there's still plenty of work to be done. Getting these machines to run a bit faster, have more control, and generally just improve is obviously on the cards. Though apparently so is growing neural cells to give them brains for simple tasks. Yep. If you want to read more about this horrifying idea, make sure to check out the full research paper over on
