Scientists created first living robots designed by supercomputers, that are fully programmable. UVM and Tufts team builds tiny 'xenobots' assembled from cells, promise advances from drug delivery to toxic waste clean-up.

On the right, the living organism, built entirely from frog skin (green) and heart muscle (red) cells.

But it is not a tree. The dead cells have been repurposed to serve another need. Now a team of scientists has repurposed living cells—scraped from frog embryos—and assembled them into entirely new life-forms. These millimeter-wide "xenobots" can move toward a target, perhaps pick up a payload (like a medicine that needs to be carried to a specific place inside a patient)—and heal themselves after being cut. "These are novel living machines," says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. "They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism."

"We can imagine many useful applications of these living robots that other machines can't do," says co-leader Michael Levin who directs the Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology at Tufts, "like searching out nasty compounds or radioactive contamination, gathering microplastic in the oceans, traveling in arteries to scrape out plaque." The results of the new research were published January 13 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . source University of Vermont
