Xenobots and Anthrobots: Biological Robots

Xenobots and Anthrobots: Biological Robots

Xenobots and Anthrobots: Biological Robots In 2020, researchers announced they had created the first living robots. Not robots made of metal and silicon. Robots made of frog cells. They called them xenobots, after Xenopus laevis, the African clawed frog whose skin cells they used. The cells were scraped from frog
