robots might sound like an oxymoron, but they’re here, and they’re challenging everything we know about biotechnology. How Do Living Robots Reproduce?the original study, published in 2020, the same team of researchers unveiled in a follow up report that the living robots would team up to spontaneously gather hundreds of loose, single cells dropped into the petri dish — initially supplied as feedstock — to assemble “baby” xenobots. Regenerative MedicineBuilt in a petri dish, xenobots can be configured in any form desired and programmed for specific purposes — essentially providing anatomy on demand — with self-replicating and self-healing properties
