If we let robots design themselves in simulations, they can come up with totally novel forms and materials—and some can reproduce to form lightly mutated offspring.

The Xenobots can self-heal, and they reproduce in an entirely different way—Xenobots build other Xenobots.

The robots are alive, and now they can reproduce. That’s not a sequel to “The Terminator.” It’s the result of new research showing that microscopic life-forms made of frogs’ stem cells ...

Now, scientists at Columbia University have developed robots that can physically "grow," "heal," and improve themselves by integrating material from their environment or from other robots.

Life finds a way, and the same goes for even robots, according to a group of scientists who say the first living robotic life forms can reproduce. In January 2020, a team of scientists from the ...

Xenobots, the World's First Living Robots, Are Now Capable of Reproducing: 'This Is Profound' Xenobots have the capacity to reproduce in an "entirely new" way, scientists say — which could prove ...

Interesting research, but no, we don’t have living, reproducing robots Don't believe the hype—this isn't reproduction or replication.

The world’s first living robots — known as “xenobots” — can now reproduce, US scientists have revealed. Details about the robots, created using the heart and skin stem cells from the ...

Studies of reproducing robots show that the technology could be applied to other areas in the future, like medicine and environmental cleanup.

Even more signs computers really won't need us in the future, as scientists have created a system where robots can design and construct other robots. Right now several robots are creating tiny ...
