In our last video we saw how Boston Dynamics robots: Spot and Atlas, give us a glimpse of the future of robotics as a platform for generalized mobility. However, this isn’t the only key trend in robotics.

This video looks at the ongoing merger of two previously separate branches of cybernetics - Robotics and Biology. This is the biorobotic revolution, and we will look at how its going to shape the future of robots.

From Boston Dynamics biomimicry of the movement of animals, soft robotics emulation of deformable tissue and swarm robotics emulation of insects emergent intelligence, to directly interacting with biology for the assembly of nanobots, integration of biosensors and even bionic integration of robotics in living systems.

But this biorobotic revolution goes further, and the lines between robots and biology are blurring. The latest branch of cybernetics is just biohybrids, its xenobots that are living biological robots.

The biorobotics revolution is ongoing and its implications are huge, but like last video's general mobility platforms, it's just one of the many key trends driving the future of robotics.
