“…Furthermore, the potential learning capabilities of cultured neuron controllers have also been investigated. Building on the Khepera platform developed by Novellino et al discussed earlier, Novellino et al subsequently incorporated a learning phase to enforce obstacle avoidance as the robot navigated an arena (81). Conditional stimuli were provided as a pairing of tetanic bursts with low-frequency stimuli when the robot struck an obstacle (82).…”

*Engineers are often inspired by the behavioral flexibility and robustness seen in nature. Recent advances in tissue engineering now allow the use of organic components in robotic applications. By integrating organic and synthetic components, researchers are moving toward the development of engineered organisms whose structural framework, actuation, sensing, and control are partially or completely organic. This review discusses recent exciting work demonstrating how organic components can be used for all facets of robot development. On the basis of this analysis, we propose a robotic taxonomic key to guide the field toward a unified lexicon for device description.
