US scientists steer robot dog with graphene brain organoids in lab breakthrough

SMRTR summary

UC San Diego scientists developed GraMOS, a technique using graphene to stimulate lab-grown brain organoids without genetic modification. The breakthrough allowed researchers to connect organoids to a robot dog that successfully avoided obstacles in under 50 milliseconds. This technology speeds up neural growth for disease research and could revolutionize brain-machine interfaces, prosthetics, and biological computing by enabling living brain cells to communicate with technology.
