Science & Futurism
* "Team Builds the First Living Robots Tiny 'xenobots' assembled from cells promise advances from drug delivery to toxic waste clean-up" (uvm.edu/uvmnews/news/team-builds-first-living-robots) [archive.is/Ua5wr] [begin excerpt]: Later tests showed that groups of xenobots would move around in circles, pushing pellets into a central location—spontaneously and collectively. Others were built with a hole through the center to reduce drag. In simulated versions of these, the scientists were able to repurpose this hole as a pouch to successfully carry an object. "It's a step toward using computer-designed organisms for intelligent drug delivery," says Bongard, a professor in UVM's Department of Computer Science and Complex Systems Center. [end excerpt]

* " ‘Neither robot nor animal’: Scientists develop the ‘Xenobots,’ 1st robots constructed completely from LIVING CELLS" (2020-01-14, rt.com/news/478203-first-robots-built-living-cells/) [archive.is/LaRPD]
- image caption: A manufactured quadruped organism, 650-750 microns in diameter—a bit smaller than a pinhead.
* "Meet the xenobot: world's first living, self-healing robots created from frog stem cells" (2020-01-13, cnn.com/2020/01/13/us/living-robot-stem-cells-intl-hnk-scli-scn/index.html) [archive.is/mU2wh] [begin excerpt]: The cells then began to work on their own -- skin cells bonded to form structure, while pulsing heart muscle cells allowed the robot to move on its own. Xenobots even have self-healing capabilities; when the scientists sliced into one robot, it healed by itself and kept moving.
"These are novel living machines," said Joshua Bongard, one of the lead researchers at the University of Vermont, in the news release. "They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism." [...]
The xenobots could potentially be used toward a host of tasks, according to the study, which was partially funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a federal agency that oversees the development of technology for military use.
Xenobots could be used to clean up radioactive waste, collect microplastics in the oceans, carry medicine inside human bodies, or even travel into our arteries to scrape out plaque. The xenobots can survive in aqueous environments without additional nutrients for days or weeks -- making them suitable for internal drug delivery.
Aside from these immediate practical tasks, the xenobots could also help researchers to learn more about cell biology -- opening the doors to future advancement in human health and longevity. [end excerpt]
