Adobe Stock So-called Xenobots developed by researchers at Tufts and the University of Vermont can move faster and navigate different environments better than earlier versions.
Researchers have delivered a significant upgrade to biological robots they created last year to the point at which they can now self-assemble a body from single cells as well as demonstrate other novel properties.
A team from Tufts University and the University of Vermont created what they billed as the first “living robots “last from frog cells. The tiny, self-healing biological machines could move, push a payload, and even engage in swarm behavior when in the presence of other robots which the scientists call “Xenobots” and represented a breakthrough in the development of programmable yet living machines.

Scientists have created a new generation of biological – or living – robots that can assemble and heal themselves.
The latest version of Xenobots are faster, live longer, and can now record information.
Last year, a team of biologists and computer scientists from Tufts University and the University of Vermont (UVM) created tiny self-healing biological machines from frog cells called Xenobots that could move around, push a payload, and even exhibit collective behaviour in the presence of a swarm of other Xenobots.
Now, the same team has now created life forms that self-assemble a body from single cells, do not require muscle cells to move, and even demonstrate the capability of recordable memory.
