The Rise of Bio-Hybrid Robots: When Biology Meets Machines A new wave of research is blurring the line between science fiction and reality. Scientists are developing bio-hybrid robots—machines built using living biological materials combined with synthetic components. One emerging concept, often referred to as bio-modular robotics, explores bodies made from lab-grown tissues that can move, respond to stimuli, and in some cases repair themselves. Unlike traditional robots made entirely of metal a
