The general concept of artificial machines capable of producing copies of themselves dates back at least several hundred years. An early reference is an anecdote regarding the philosopher René Descartes, who suggested to Queen Christina of Sweden that the human body could be regarded as a machine; she responded by pointing to a clock and ordering "see to it that it reproduces offspring."
Douglas Blackiston and Sam KriegmanYou might have missed the debut of the Xenobots last year when the world was falling apart, but they made quite a splash in the science and tech community. These ...
Scientists in Boston have created living robot cells manipulated to reproduce themselves. Jericka Duncan explains what this historic discovery could mean for humanity.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with ...
An activity in the field of robots is the self-replication of machines. Since all robots (at least in modern times) have a fair number of the same features, a self-replicating robot (or possibly a hive of robots) would need to do the following: Obtain construction materials; Manufacture new parts including its smallest parts and thinking apparatus
Artificial reproduction is the re-creation of life brought about by means other than natural ones. It is new life built by human plans and projects. Examples include artificial selection , artificial insemination , in vitro fertilization , artificial womb , artificial cloning , and kinematic replication .
Engineers are increasingly creating artificial robots out of real, living tissue and cells Scientists say regulation is urgently required for ‘living robots’ Skip to main content
Xenobots are composed solely of frog cells, making them biodegradable and environmentally friendly robots. Unlike traditional technologies, xenobots do not generate pollution or require external energy inputs during their life-cycle.
