Xenobots, named after the frog species Xenopus laevis that the cells come from, were first described

33、 last year. Now the team behind the robots has improved their design and demonstrated new capabilities.To create the xenobots, Michael Levin at Tufts University in Massachusetts and his colleagues obtained tissue from 24-hour-old frog embryos after very small physical operation. Where the previous v

34、ersion relied on the contraction of heart muscle cells to move them forward by pushing off surfaces, these new xenobots swim around faster. They also live between three and seven days longer than their previous generation, which only lasted about seven days, and have the ability to sense their surro

35、undings to some extent, turning red when exposed to blue light.“The fundamental finding here is that when you free skin cells from their normal context, and you give them a chance to build other things than what they normally build,” says Levin. “To me, one of the most exciting things here is that t

37、ersity. He therefore hopes that they can be used for biomedical and environmental applications.Previous attempts at creating living robots, such as a wirelessly controlled cockroach, have involved dealing with live animals, raising ethical concerns. Xenobots differ from these because they are made e

38、ntirely of living cells. “The approach here is maybe ethically the least problematic because everything starts with cells. They have no neurons, so its not an animal,” says Auke ljspeert at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne, who wasnt involved in the research. “Its really cells,
