Xenobots: First living robots created from stem cells

CNN — Scientists have created the world’s first living, self-healing robots using stem cells from frogs. Named xenobots after the African clawed frog from which they take their stem cells, the machines are less than a millimeter wide – small enough to travel inside human bodies. It’s a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism.” Xenobots don’t look like traditional robots – they have no shiny gears or robotic arms. UVM and Tufts Team Builds First Living Robots “If we could make 3D biological form on demand, we could repair birth defects, reprogram tumors into normal tissue, regenerate after traumatic injury or degenerative disease, and defeat aging,” said the researchers’ website. “At the moment though it is difficult to see how an AI could create harmful organisms any easier than a talented biologist with bad intentions could,” said the researchers’ website.
