  9. Xenobots 3.0: Living Robots That Can Reproduce

    On Wednesday, December 1, 2021, the scientists behind the Xenobots participated in a live webinar to discuss their research. The panel consisted of Associate Faculty member Mike Levin Ph.D., Sam Kriegman Ph.D., Josh Bongard Ph.D., and Doug Blackiston Ph.D. Answers to the many audience questions asked during the webinar that panelists did not have time to answer can be found in this document.

  10. Applications and ethics of computer-designed organisms

  11. 'Xenobot' Living Robots Can Reproduce

    The ability to replicate adds a new layer of potential utility to the robots. Kriegman tells The Washington Post that while xenobots are not yet commercially useful, with more work they have the potential to provide a number of services, from cleaning up microplastics from the ocean to safely delivering drugs in humans.. The researchers say they want to extend their research by creating ...

  12. Biological Robots: Perspectives on an Emerging Interdisciplinary Field

    Xenobots, for example, live only in very specific environments and are highly dependent on humans for their manufacture; they biodegrade rapidly—unlike many of today's synthetic biology efforts that replicate readily in the biosphere. ...
