Researchers Linked Dead Locust's Ear to Robot and It Works
Interdisciplinary researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) in Israel managed to connect a dead locust's ear to a robot that receives direct signals from it and moves accordingly. This biological and technological research could pave the way for future development in medical technology that uses sensory integrations of insects and robots.

The Mantis Shrimp Will Change How You See the World (Literally)
If you could see through the eyes of another creature, the mantis shrimp might be last on your wishlist. But it shouldn't be. Researchers have developed a novel optical sensor so small it can fit on a smartphone - and is capable of hyperspectral and polarimetric imaging, according to an embargoed press release shared with Interesting Engineering.

Scientists grow cells on a robot skeleton (but don't know what to do with them yet)
Scientist have grown human cells on a robot skeleton, hoping that by moving the skeleton they can better approximate the cells' natural growing environment. The cells certainly grew, but it's not clear yet if they would be any better for medical treatments.

Scientists make 'slightly sweaty' robot finger with living skin
Japanese scientists have developed a "slightly sweaty" robotic finger covered in living skin in an advance they say brings truly human-like robots a step closer. The finger, which was shown to be able to heal itself, is seen as an impressive technical feat that blurs the line between living flesh and machine.
