Rat neuron cells control new robot

http://www.msnbc.com/news/849269.asp?0dm=T14KT

"Steve Potter?s brand new robot would probably never make it to the second round of Battlebots. The size of a coffee mug, the cylindrical robot slides across a round meter-sized playpen on an apparently chaotic path. But this robot is a thinker, not a fighter, and it does its thinking with a network of neurons ? culled from rat embryos ? that resides a few feet away on an electrode-activated silicon chip."

Crazy, huh?
