Only good things can come from this... Xenobots - living robots created out of frog stem cells 2837414639

Quote :: The world’s first living robots have been built using stem cells from frog embryos, in a strange machine-animal hybrid that scientists say is an ‘entirely new life-form.’ Dubbed ‘xenobots’ because they are constructed of biological material taken from the Xenopus laevis frog, the little bots are the first to be constructed from living cells. And because they are alive, they can replicate and repair themselves if damaged or torn.
