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

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.

It might soon be easy to build living robots — because they'll build themselves. New Scientist reports Harvard University, Tufts University and University of Vermont researchers have learned ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

A study by the University of Cambridge examined the "evolution" of robots, where a mother robot created increasingly successful offspring based on natural selection.

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 ...

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 ...

The world's first living robots, known as xenobots, have learned how to self-replicate, according to the scientists who developed them. Xenobots — which are designed by computers and created by hand ...
