Living robots made from frog cells can replicate themselves in a dish

Swarms of tiny living robots can self-replicate in a dish by pushing loose cells together. The xenobots – made from frog cells – are the first multicellular organisms found to reproduce in this way.

Researchers Create Cell “Neurobots” With Functional Nervous Systems

A new class of living robots integrates neurons that self-organize and alter shape, gene expression, and behavior. The findings reveal how nervous systems can emerge in novel contexts, advancing ...
