BOSTON - Xenobots, also known as the world’s first living robots, have the capability to reproduce, according to a recent study from the University of Vermont, Tufts University and Harvard University.

In early 2020 a team of computer scientists from the University of Vermont and biologists at Tufts University built “biological robots” for the first time. A little more than a year later, the same ...

Tiny “living machines” made of frog cells can replicate themselves, making copies that can then go on to do the same. This newly described form of renewal offers insights into how to design biological ...

When University of Vermont researcher Josh Bongard and his colleagues in Massachusetts began working on a project to build robots using artificial intelligence and frog stem cells, one of their first ...

One hundred years ago, it was easy to tell when something was a machine. Machines were “hard and clanky, metallic, and pretty heavy,” as developmental biologist Michael Levin tells Inverse. But lately ...

With mere weeks left, 2021 has now managed to sneak in one more headlines-spurring feat: the unveiling of spontaneously self-replicating Xenobots. As you may or may not already be aware, ...

Living, moving, self-replicating robots funded by the U.S. military. No, that's not a sci-fi thriller coming to a theater near you. It's "xenobots," microscopic computer-designed robots made entirely ...

Well, the moment has come... our AI "xenobot" self-replicating robots are going to rule us all and we won't be able to stop it. But seriously, researchers have just announced they've created tiny ...
