# Roommates, it’s no secret that technology now has the ability to create and produce things that we once thought were only found in Hollywood movies, but the latest amazing news about robots proves that we now live in the future we once used imagine. According to the latest discoveries of scientists, the first living robots in the world are now able to reproduce… and the discovery has left even some of the best scientists in the world “amazed”.
@CNN reports that US scientists have just discovered that xenobots, the world’s first living robots, now have the ability to reproduce – in a way that is not seen in plants or animals. Xenobots are made from the stem cells of the African toad with claws and are less than a millimeter wide. Last year, after their debut, the robots showed that they could move, work together in groups and treat themselves, but no one ever expected them to reproduce. Scientists at the University of Vermont, Tufts University and Harvard University, who created the xenobot, said they were shocked to realize that the robot’s creation was now capable of reproducing.
Michael Levin, a professor of biology and director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University, is leading a study that reveals that robots can reproduce, but still leaves him in disbelief. “I was amazed by this. Frogs have a way of reproduction that they usually use, but when you … release (the cells) from the rest of the embryo and give them a chance to understand how to be in a new environment, they will not only invent a new way to move, but they they are also obviously discovering a new way of reproducing. “
Xenobots have used “kinetic replication” for reproduction, which is described as a scientific process that occurs at the molecular level, although it has never been observed at the level of whole cells or organisms.
Artificial intelligence has helped researchers test billions of body shapes to make xenobots more efficient at kinetic replication. They then continued to collect small stem cells in a Petri dish, collected hundreds of them in the mouths of xenobots, and a few days later the cell package became new xenobots.
