2021年12月1日 · Xenobots are collections of living cells and have no brain or digestive system. But in a real sense they can be programmed — to corral other cells, as in this study, or eventually to do other...

2021年11月29日 · Xenobots are the world’s first AI-designed biological robots that can self-repair and self-replicate. The year was 1948 when Hungarian-American mathematician John von Neumann proposed the idea of...

2021年11月29日 · Now scientists at the University of Vermont, Tufts University, and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have discovered an entirely new form of biological reproduction—and applied their discovery to create the first-ever, self-replicating living robots.

2021年11月29日 · The US scientists who created the first living robots say the life forms, known as xenobots, can now reproduce – and in a way not seen in plants and animals.

2020年1月19日 · Despite being described as “programmable living robots”, they are actually completely organic and made of living tissue. The term “robot” has been used because xenobots can be configured into...

2020年1月13日 · Scientists have created the world’s first living, self-healing robots using stem cells from frogs. Named xenobots after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) from which they take their stem...

The Organic Robots Laboratory (ORL) at Cornell University focuses on using organic chemistry of soft material composites for new capabilities in robots. We also seek to redefine how people view robots and their potential uses.

2023年10月25日 · Researchers harvested skin cells to craft the architecture of a xenobot, and heart cells for their ability to contract and relax, acting as a sort of engine to propel the organic robot for functional mobility.

2024年6月2日 · Researchers have called this bio robot a xenobot. Unlike typical robots, a xenobot is a very small robot. It’s not made of metal, plastic, or other synthetic materials. Rather, it is composed entirely of organic cellular material. Xenobot can scuttle around or rotate in circles.

2025年1月27日 · A modular worm robot built by the Organic Robotics Lab and a jellyfish that was a collaboration with the Archer Group, both in Cornell Engineering, demonstrate the benefits of “embodied energy” – an approach that incorporates power sources into the body of a machine, to reduce its weight and cost.

2021年11月29日 · Scientists have discovered a new form of biological reproduction -- and created self-replicating living robots. Made from frog cells, these computer-designed organisms gather single cells inside...

2020年1月31日 · The organic robots called xenobots are from cells of the frog species Xenopus Laevis. These immature cells capable of developing into a variety of different cell types are being used for a number of therapies.

2022年4月22日 · In 2020, scientists developed organic, biocompatible robots that independently moved and interacted with other objects. This breakthrough design revolutionized approaches to environmental care, drug delivery, along with countless other applications.

CMU's Biohybrid and Organic Robotics Group focuses on using organic materials as structures, actuators, sensors, and controllers towards the development of biohybrid and organic robots.

2021年12月1日 · Scientists say they’ve witnessed a never-before-seen type of replication in organic robots created in the lab using frog cells. Among other things, the findings could have implications for regenerative medicine.

2023年4月21日 · Various biomimetic soft robots are constructed to demonstrate the vast versatility of responses and flexibility in shape-shifting.

2022年3月14日 · Xenobots are tiny robots made from living cells and they are getting quite good at self-replicating (in a petri dish). Just over a hundred years after the word robot was introduced to the world...

2021年12月10日 · UMSI associate professor Lionel Robert says the ‘organic robots’ have the potential to help address many problems. The first living robots, computer-designed and hand-assembled organisms, called “Xenobots” have been built from frog cells.

This review discusses recent exciting work demonstrating how organic components can be used for all facets of robot development. On the basis of this analysis, we propose a robotic taxonomic key to guide the field toward a unified lexicon for device description.

We have caused natural motion in synthetic robots by using organic elastomers (crosslinked polymers above their glass transition temperature) that deform continuously over large ranges of strain. Large shape changes allow easy switching between gaits: walking or undulating.
