Chinese Scientists Develop Robot Controlled by Human Brain Organoids

The breakthrough integrates lab-grown brain cells with neural interfaces to enhance robotic capabilities and explore brain repair.

Researchers from Tianjin University and Southern University of Science and Technology created a robot using human stem cell-derived brain organoids.
The organoids are linked to a neural interface, enabling the robot to learn tasks such as obstacle avoidance and object manipulation.
This project is described as the world's first open-source brain-on-chip intelligent complex information interaction system.
Potential applications include advanced brain-computer interfaces and therapeutic strategies for brain repair.
The research is in early stages, with ongoing studies exploring the feasibility of using organoids for repairing damaged brain tissues.
