@cleoabram: This robot is made of LIVING CELLS. It is an “animal robot” or “xenobot” that’s only 1 millimeter in size, but it can walk across a petri dish on its own. And the way researchers made it is wild... “Xenobots” made out of living cells are controversial, particularly when they can self-replicate. The reason many scientists want to do this research is that if we can build these robots with specific abilities, maybe one day we could build them for example to hunt down cancer cells or repair damaged tissue. It’s complicated, and truly "huge if true." #education #science #tech #animals #robot #roboticsnews

So we’re probably actually doomed, right? 😅

So scientists read about Skynet, Gray Goo and Killer Robots and said what a great idea.

Super cool! Specially the potential but what is ‘robot’ in this context?
