This Robot Is Made Of Living Cells

This is a robot made out of LIVING CELLS. It is an “animal robot” or “xenobot” that’s only 1 millimeter in size, but it can walk across a petri dish on its own. And the way researchers made it is wild...
Robots made out of living cells are controversial, particularly when they can self-replicate. The reason many scientists want to do this research is that if we can build these robots with specific abilities, maybe one day we could build them for example to hunt down cancer cells or repair damaged tissue. It’s complicated, and truly "huge if true."

, but you don't understand; being part of the corporate hive mind is beautiful. You only feel distress now, because you have not yet, successfully aligned your personal, mental and spiritual goals, with the needs of your corporation. When you, get more joy, out of seeing your boss drive in, in a new Maserati, knowing you have helped pay for that, than you would have gotten from being there at the birth of any of your kids, if you'd been able to get the day off, then all pain will melt away.

They don’t have a dna encoding their shape so they cannot replicate (at least not outside a lab). Even if they did, they are non competitive in the wild so they would get eaten quickly. No worries with these ! Worry more about synthetic viruses …

@zaphodbond Месяц назад

In one hand it's fascinating to think how those could evolve if we let them replicate according to some selection of the fittest so they keep improving but it could also quickly turn into a grey goo apocalypse scenario so yeah better play it safe.

@w0tch Месяц назад

@@zaphodbond no grey goo apocalypse, there are already plenty of very very fit creatures in the wild and none of them has taken over the world. Simple explanation : thermodynamics. Any self replicating micro organism or micro robot needs a LOT of energy to replicate, and that’s not easy to find in the environment. Also, if you replicate, you get numerous, and when you are numerous, you become an easy prey, and then, you are not numerous anymore …
