A novel and unique scientific innovation has unraveled in the field of medical science. These millimeter-wide programmable organisms named Xenobots were designed by engineering bits of two different cell types from a frog embryo. In the world of scientific innovations and discoveries, nothing is impossible to achieve. This was yet again proved by a group of researchers who discovered Xenobots; the world's first living robot.
These bots were named after the species of African frogs, Xenopus laevis, whose embryonic cells, or stem cells were used in the creation of this programmed living being. These novel living machines are neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal but are living, programmable organisms capable of conducting various tasks with ease. Xenobots may lead to innovative novel machines in many fields like detecting toxic contamination in the environment and…
