Xenobots and Engineering
Xenobots blur the lines between biology and robotics, showcasing how self-assembling organisms can be manipulated through signals rather than genetic rewiring. The collaboration with computer scientists opens up avenues for reprogramming these cells to exhibit new behaviors, emphasizing the importance of understanding their innate capabilities. The discussion hints at a future where the definition of robots may evolve, potentially leading to a civil rights movement for these entities.In this clip
