Tufts University Develops Living Robots with Nervous Systems for Advanced Applications
Researchers at Tufts University, led by biologist Michael Levin, have developed 'neurobots,' which are living robots composed of biological cells that include neurons forming functional circuits. These neurobots represent a significant advancement in bioengineering, as they are capable of self-directed movement and can potentially be used in applications such as precision tissue repair and environmental cleanup. The neurobots are built from frog cells and are designed to mimic simple neural networks, providing insights into complex behaviors. This development is part of a broader effort to integrate biological tissue with engineered control systems, moving beyond traditional mechanical robotics.
