Xenobots, named after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), [1] are synthetic lifeforms that are designed by computers to perform some desired function and built by combining together different biological tissues.

2021年11月29日 · The same team that built the first living robots (“Xenobots,” assembled from frog cells —reported in 2020) has discovered that these computer-designed and hand-assembled organisms can swim out into their tiny dish, find single cells, gather hundreds of them together, and assemble “baby” Xenobots inside their Pac-Man-shaped “mouth”—that, a few da...

2021年11月29日 · The US scientists who created the first living robots say the life forms, known as xenobots, can reproduce in a way not seen in plants and animals.

2024年6月2日 · Researchers have called this bio robot a xenobot. Unlike typical robots, a xenobot is a very small robot. It’s not made of metal, plastic, or other synthetic materials. Rather, it is composed entirely of organic cellular material. Xenobot can scuttle around or rotate in circles.

2023年4月17日 · Xenobots, also known as biobots, or a robots with only biological components, could help humanity. Learn why scientists are interested in making them.

Xenobots designed with carefully shaped “pouches” might be able to carry drugs into human bodies. Future versions may be built from a patient’s own cells to repair tissue or target cancers. Being biodegradable, xenobots would have an edge on technologies made of plastic or metal. ...

2023年11月30日 · Xenobots—a new classification of robots built from biological cells—evolved from theory to reality in only a few short years. Not long after first proposing the concept, researchers...

2020年1月13日 · Scientists have created the world’s first living, self-healing robots using stem cells from frogs. Named xenobots after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) from which they take their stem...

2021年11月30日 · AI-designed Xenobots reveal entirely new form of biological self-replication—promising for regenerative medicine. To persist, life must reproduce. Over billions of years, organisms have evolved many ways of replicating, from budding plants to sexual animals to invading viruses.

Xenobots are tiny, programmable biological robots made from living cells, typically derived from frog embryos. First developed in 2020 by scientists at the University of Vermont and Tufts University, xenobots represent a groundbreaking blend of biology and robotics. Unlike traditional robots made of metal or plastic, xenobots are entirely ...
