Living Robots: A milestone for science

Using AI and frog cells scientists at the University of Vermont were able to create living robots. These robots have the ability to move towards a programmed target and “heal” themselves after being cut. These machines blur the line between a living and a non-living thing. As they have the ability to respond to stimuli, and possibly self replicate. This makes them a new breed of living programmable organisms. Future research hopes to see them used in drug delivery and toxic waste clean-up. Read more about their potential uses.
