​ Some of today’s most advanced robots can leap over obstacles, crawl through tight spaces, and swim gracefully—as long as they’re traveling in straight lines. Making turns, however, often poses a challenge to so-called biohybrid machines, which combine living tissue with robotic materials.

Now, scientists have created a bipedal biohybrid bot that can turn on a dime, albeit slowly. If the technique can be made to work in other biohybrids, it could help these machines maneuver more adeptly for search and rescue operations or exploring inhospitable deep-sea environments.
