lab near boston, massachusetts, but font s week weekend journal we take you there to find out what this remarkable discovery could mean for all of us. reporter: inside this lab at the allen discovery center at tufts university, scientist douglas blackiston shows me the petri dish where xenobots also known as robots live, they are robots but not made of metal and circuit boards. why do they call them robots when it really feels like it is just a small very, you know, organism. they are robots because they are designed and engineered from the ground up to behave in very specific ways. these are returned to the original conception of the word robot which is just a worker made out of living tissue. sam creedman son a team of three other researchers who have been working on this project since 2018. a closer look through the microscope shows tiny uniquely
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.
I bet you thought we needed to look towards the stars in order to find some new form of biological mechanism. Or perhaps into the depths of our oceans, which run deeper than Jerry Jones’ pockets, or so I’ve been told. But no, living organisms called ‘Xenobots,’ created by scientists using artificial intelligence, already exist. Oh, and guess what? They have just figured out a brand spanking new method of biological self-replication.
Scientists have now unveiled the worlds first living robots. Called a Xenobot, the organism is built using organic material and not the usual metal robots that we’re used to seeing in popular media
