Researchers at the Wyss Institute have created the first “neurobots,” living robots built from frog embryonic cells that incorporate neuronal precursor cells to form self‑organizing nervous systems. The neurobots develop mature neurons that connect internally and extend processes to surface cells, reshaping their morphology into more elongated forms and enhancing motility. Compared with earlier biobots, neurobots display more complex spontaneous behaviors and a distinct gene‑expression profile, including up‑regulation of visual‑system genes. The findings, published in Advanced Science, suggest a new frontier for programmable bio‑machines and regenerative therapies.
