A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural circuits and complex behavior.

A review paper by scientists from Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Science provided a comprehensive overview of cyborg animals within the framework of animal taxonomy, summarizing the current state of research from a zoological perspective.

Developmental biologists at Tufts University in Massachusetts have produced what they call “neurobots”, small clumps of cells that can swim through water and are made from a combination of embryonic cells and neural tissue from frogs. The research ...

When it comes to teamwork, we could all learn something from ants. These relatively simple, small-brained animals are famous for their ability to collectively build massive, intricate, climate-controlled structures,

(BOSTON) — Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with Xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built exclusively using frog embryonic cells. Originally developed in the laboratories of Wyss Institute Associate Faculty member ...
