Living Robots: Xenobots
Scientists in the United States have created the world’s first “living robots” named “xenobots”.
The robot is tiny and built from the cells of the frog.
named after the species of aquatic frog Xenopus laevis (found in Nigeria and Sudan)
this is for the first time that completely biological machines are designed from scratch
The xenobots can move toward a target, perhaps pick up a payload and even heal themselves after being cut.
Applications contamination, gathering microplastic in the oceans etc.
