One growing trend in robotics involves biorobots. Directly inspired by animal behaviour, these robots can be particularly effective, especially in hostile environments. Having replicated the movement patterns of several species, a next generation of biorobots designed with real living cells could be even more fluid and faster, paving the way for all kinds of uses.
Initially, this technology involved imitating the biological mechanisms of living beings to make robots more efficient, flexible and suited to different environments. In recent years, many researchers have developed robots inspired by insects, for example.
