Researchers in the U.S. have created the first life machine by collecting cells from African-cut frogs and making little robots that move themselves.
One of the most successful creations has two legs pushing forward with its “finex1>. Another has a hole in the middle that researchers have returned to shake themselves, writes The Guardian, translates Periscope.
These are completely new forms of life. These never existed on earth before, said Michael Levin, director of the Allen Intelligence Center at the University of Medford in Massachusetts. These are living, programmed organisms. ”
Robotists have been inclined to favor metal and plastic because of strength and endurance, but Levin and his colleagues have seen their benefits by making robots out of biological tissues. When hurt, living robots can heal their own wounds.
One of the greatest possibilities of future versions of these robots can also be to rid the oceans of microplastics.
Robots, which are shorter than one millimeter, are designed by <x0-algorized evolutionary” made from supercomputer. /Periscope
