Scientists Have Developed the First Robots Made Entirely From Living Tissue

That's not a robot. It's an organism, is it not?
That would be a wild Terminator remake.
If tardigrades become too advanced though we would be fucked lol
That would be a wild Terminator remake.
Bioengineering is how we will reverse much of the environmental damage we've caused. The more money, people, and resources we have devoted to this area the better.
I'm ready for scientists to splice me with animal DNA. You best believe i'm going to start my NBA career as soon as I can jump like a frog.
I feel like changing human DNA to give us the ability to regrow our teeth as adults has to be feasible right? That and improving our eyesight so we can see better in the dark would be amazing.
Guyborgs
Meatatrons
Cellubots
Paradroids*
Spermatazoids
Roboslime
Germinators

> robot
> living tissue
its literally a mini actuator constructed of biological material
Ok so here are the possibilities
Replicants from Blade Runner
Terminators from Terminator
Peace keepers from Horizon: Zero Dawn
One day, robots will realize they don't need us and it will be all over. This is why George Lucas invented restraining bolts!!!

In the same vein as a virus. A virus isn't considered a living organism because it lacks basic living characteristics.
In the case of the xenobots, for example they can't reproduce.
for now
Maybe in the future we have little robots like these inside us, helping our bodies function and stay healthy

Am I the only one who just realized where I recognize Lemillion's (MHA) art style from?
Why not just cross a tardigrade with a human and end humanity once and for all.
Tiny robots with cognitive abilities and pouches for carrying small loads? What's there to worry about? I'm sure they won't be used to carry anything nefarious.
Why focus on practical solutions to common problems when you can try to build replicants?
The hell you waste it on that? One step closer to my sex bondage robot. That's where the real science is. 😉
Cognitive abilities in this situation does not mean consciousness, just sensory capabilities so they could for example, automatically travel towards the direction of a tumor to deliver medicine
Term I've usually heard for similar tech is biobots from people who work on that tech
