Xenobots: Living Robots

from The Insightful Thinkers Podcast Hosted by Insightful Thinkers Media

Humans have been experimenting with organisms since the agricultural revolution. Now, for the first time ever, we have created biological machines. These organisms, known as “xenobots,” are brand-new life forms: The world’s first programmable living organisms. https://www.insightfulthinkersmedia.com/ References: Coghlan, S., & Leins, K.
