Biobots arise from the cells of dead organisms − pushing the boundaries of life, death and medicine
> Given the right conditions, certain types of cells are able to self-assemble into new lifeforms after the organism they were once part of has died.
Anthrobots: The First Biological Robots (Biobots) Made from Human Cells
The word ‘robot’ evokes images of human-like manmade metallic machine (humanoid) designed and programmed to automatically perform some tasks for us............

Researchers have used human tracheal cells to create tiny biological robots that can move on their own and work together to encourage healing in damaged neurons without requiring genetic modifications. The tiny bots have the potential to transform regenerative medicine and the treatment of disease.
“Once we understand what cell collectives are willing and able to do, then we can begin to control that not just for stand-alone bots, but for regenerative medicine,” says Levin, including to regrow limbs.
Swarming #microrobots self-organize into diverse patterns: research 👇🧫🤔
https://techxplore.com/news/2023-06-swarming-microrobots-self-organize-diverse-patterns.amp
A research collaboration between Cornell and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has found an efficient way to expand the collective behavior of swarming microrobots: Mixing different sizes of the micron-scale 'bots enables them to self-organize into diverse patterns that can be manipulated when a magnetic field is applied. The technique even allows the swarm to "cage" passive objects and then expel them.

Hello Mastodon!
I'm trying to write more! So here's a brief, 2minute read rethinking what an education should teach enrolled engineers:

Also, here's my 2014 research-driven sci-fi piece proposing one implementation of remote-control animals:
