- Scientists have witnessed a never-before-seen type of self-replication in the world’s first living robots (Xenobots).
- These are created in the lab using frog cells.
- Xenobots are synthetic life forms that are designed by computers to perform some desired function and built by combining together different biological tissues.
- Xenobots are named after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis).
- The world’s first Xenobots were developed in 2020 by assembling African clawed frog cells.
- One day these Xenobots could be programmed to perform useful functions such as finding cancer cells in the human body or trapping harmful microplastics in the ocean.
