Robotic components with actual mammalian cells to create robot systems

Called “Cyberplasm,” this robot would mash up biomimicking robotic components with actual mammalian cells to create robot systems.

Tiny microelectromechanical machines running Magic Schoolbus-style through our bodies are the pursuit of nano labs across the globe, but a team of researchers jointly backed by the American National Science Foundation and the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council wants something more: a tiny biomimicking robot that functions like a living creature loaded with sensors derived from animal cells.

Called “Cyberplasm,” this robot would mash up biomimicking robotic components with actual mammalian cells to create robot systems and sensors that respond to stimuli like chemicals and light the way living organisms do. “Eye” and “nose” sensors would be derived from animal cells, while an artificial electronic nervous system will record data from Cyberplasm’s surroundings and respond to external stimuli via artificial muscles that are powered by glucose.cyberplasm micro robot, cyberplasm detect diseases, cyberplasm developing a tiny, cyberplasm lamprey, cyberplasm synthetic biology.
