This Robot Is Made Of Living Cells

- This is a robot made out of LIVING CELLS. It is an “animal robot” or “xenobot” that’s only 1 millimeter in size, but it can walk across a petri dish on its own. And the way researchers made it is wild...
Robots made out of living cells are controversial, particularly when they can self-replicate. The reason many scientists want to do this research is that if we can build these robots with specific abilities, maybe one day we could build them for example to hunt down cancer cells or repair damaged tissue. It’s complicated, and truly "huge if true."

I'm a living animal, but becoming a corporate robot day by day ...😶
Escape before it's too late.
It's working!
, but you don't understand; being part of the corporate hive mind is beautiful. You only feel distress now, because you have not yet, successfully aligned your personal, mental and spiritual goals, with the needs of your corporation. When you, get more joy, out of seeing your boss drive in, in a new Maserati, knowing you have helped pay for that, than you would have gotten from being there at the birth of any of your kids, if you'd been able to get the day off, then all pain will melt away.

@@michaeljames5936NOOOOO!!!!! 😱
I'm not feeling very optimistic about it
“What is my purpose?”
You pass butter.
“Oh my god.”
I love that episode lol
😂 nice!!
I felt so bad for that robot, ngl.
“oh my jeff the scientist, you mean?”
Now imagine if one of these cells’ jobs is to maintain an enlarged member
Or process recreational intoxicant
Inventor: ''We created this to cure people.''
Military: ''Here's a hundred million dollars. Create one that can kill people.''
Yep
Hell yeah
Sad, but true!!

Patient: Dr, why can't I just die?😭
Dr: well because your body is full of injected nanobots and your cells aren't allowed to die......(book of Revelation)
Patient: 😫😭
Yeah, I'll pass, thank you👋🏻👵🏻
This seems like the start of any biohorror game ever
Yep
No no no... no horror... just optimistic science and tech stories :)

Imagine everyone becomes like cell, lol
The little building block waddling simulations were adorable
Robots made out of living cell is wild hope it doesn't get to a wrong path dude 😂
right? one wrong turn, even for noble reasons, could be disastrous.
We're so close to Grey goo bro
@@mtraven23 ever since she said "we can train them to do specific things like hunt down cancer cells" I can't stop the mental nightmare of these things just going Buckwild on a person's entire system and eating everything 😮😂
hope it does dude, atleast they'll be worthy of this planet
What could possibly go wrong? 😅
The fact that we don't hear things like THIS in mainstream news is honestly pretty terrible
Thanks Cleo 🙏🙏🙏
Main stream news only cares about rage baiting people into watching the world burn.
In reality main stream media overblows 90% of what their talking about and people who refuse to find answers anywhere else are convinces they know what going on in the word because the person in the magic box said so.
She is good like that
And it's interesting. I almost feel bad about calling her a mainstream media tool sometimes. Maybe I should. Sometimes.

@@Miss_Yonko well not everyone talk about science in the comments everytime so why are you only targetting him. Stop being a douchebag
@@Miss_YonkoDamn we got tired of the GTA 6 joke before GTA 6. Crazy world we live in. Bad things happen to good people.
Well this is simultaneously amazing and horrifying!
I feel like all progress goes through 3 stages: amazing - horrifying - amazing. That is, initial wonder at the new thing, mankind abuses it and creates disasters, regulations then come into effect allowing sensible use and back to amazing.

As a developmental biologist, I need more data to figure out what is going on.
I agree you do. Even though I'm sure some of our reactions are annoying maybe mine included. I think you need more data. Thanks.❤
F*ckin’ look it up then 🤦🏻♀️😂😂
You might not want scientists to work harder.
I'd watch a terminator or robocop style movie where xenobots hunt down cancer.
I love it when scientists say every new thing they invent is going to help cancer patients! 🤣🤣
My issue is with the reproduce part, that can spiral out of control real fast. If they can do it to where these can't reproduce and degrade after a while we can control a potential outbreak of bad ones.
They cannot reproduce, they don’t have a coding dna. And they are non competitive in the wild so they would get eaten very quickly.
They would’ve made a new wave of cancer in an attempt to stop cancer
Can you imagine that? A new robotic cancer breaking out
Sounds like a movie we've all watched before.
I hope the docs are careful and not just crazily curious😅
Do you know that As true or are you speculating?
Organic nanobots. Gosh, fortunately there is absolutely no way this could go wrong in any way, right?
Not if we're careful

@hunterbear2421 Good thing people are careful. Our track record for other sciences can testify to that. Like chemisty, nuclear physics, rocketry... oh. Hmm...
@@Khorzho Why should we worry about it anyway, if somethings going to happen how are we going to stop it anyway.

“Robots that can self-replicate” sounds like they ain’t needing humans anymore
The start of Blade Runner Replicants is here…
Let's call that lil' guy Deckard.
That’s what I was thinking 🤔 😊
Or Cylons per the rebooted BSG
They don’t have a dna encoding their shape so they cannot replicate (at least not outside a lab). Even if they did, they are non competitive in the wild so they would get eaten quickly. No worries with these ! Worry more about synthetic viruses …
In one hand it's fascinating to think how those could evolve if we let them replicate according to some selection of the fittest so they keep improving but it could also quickly turn into a grey goo apocalypse scenario so yeah better play it safe.
@@zaphodbond no grey goo apocalypse, there are already plenty of very very fit creatures in the wild and none of them has taken over the world. Simple explanation : thermodynamics. Any self replicating micro organism or micro robot needs a LOT of energy to replicate, and that’s not easy to find in the environment. Also, if you replicate, you get numerous, and when you are numerous, you become an easy prey, and then, you are not numerous anymore …
Life, uh, finds a way....
@w0tch
She literally said in the video "...particularly when the robots can self-replicate." They CAN replicate.
@@ronin4713 she was making a more general statement that people think self replicating, living robots would be an issue. I don’t think she was saying these specific ones can.
Nanomachines, son! 😂
Seems like a whole lot can go wrong in the stages between "walk around" and "hunt down cancer cells..."
I can also walk on my own.
Can you kill cancer?
@@dabbingraccoons6416 neither can those cell-bots at the moment, and you could argue humans have a better chance at doing so even if indirectly through cell-bots or other methods
@@dabbingraccoons6416Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition does :)
@@dabbingraccoons6416 the little guys in the video can’t yet.
They took jelly Tetris WAAAY too seriously 😂😂😂
They’re making those simulated life games in real life wow
Cell saga is coming soon.
We are just waiting on Doctor Gero's latest discovery.
I’m pretty sure bio-machines are more of a “when“ rather than an “if“, so this is probably the beginnings of that research. The real question is where it goes next and what we do with it.
They already have them because I was reading about them being used back in 2018 and 2019 and they posted it in the beginning of the year of 2020
What are "we" going to do with it? No offense but what are "they" going to do with it? Make a sh-- load of money is absolutely going to be first on the agenda of the first billionaire who gets into this.
Exactly, and only approximately less than 20% of chance that it'll be use for good purposes and about 80%(90-99% most probably ) for evil agendas....as always...causing more harm than good, and that's for sure.
@@chad9017 Uh… Yeah. The Gates made a lot of money off of PCs, but most of us are happy to have one. Tesla made a lot of money off of fully electric cars, but that seems like a step in the right direction. Becoming wealthy and finding things that work are not mutually exclusive, kind of the opposite. It’s worth asking what they do with that wealth, that’s a very worthwhile question to ask, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the technology.

"They can self-replicate"
*flashback to lots of dystopian sci-fi*
Most everyone in the comments
Not that it's necessarily bad, we just need to be careful.
As a wise man once said, "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should"
I actually think this is a very humane and respectful way to experiment on living tissue
How?
Yeah, you're gonna need to explain the whole frog embryo thing. I'm excited to see what will come of this!
Frog embryos become tadpoles, which are basically just a motile clump of cells. They contain the exact cells the scientists needed for this experiment (cells whose only function is either to contract, or not).
Someone is trying to build a robot that can rebuild telomers.
these shorts with actual science are a breath of fresh air
"Robot Duplication" is the most terrifying thing
So. It isnt a robot, its a artificially made living being.
It's a Cylon
This might be picking nits. But it needed a living cell to start. Scientists still can't give life to anything. At least not anything organic.
Once you get deep enough into robotics and biology you start noticing that machines and living being aren't as diferent.
You're aware that the reason you're able to turn thinking into action is electricity generated by the brain right?
So is my cousin lmao 😂
Please make a full video about Dr. Levin's research!
I have been a long time follower of his work and it is truly the most radical, groundbreaking research being done in the field of bioengineering, worthy of a Nobel prize.
any papers you recommend?
Replying here so that I can come back to this later
Ahh, so Xenomorphs are only a few years away now? Lovely
Wow, I'm so happy to see they made progress on this. Back in 98 I came across some articles about this and my step dad was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in 99. He died a few months before 2000.
Did they not watch Stargate sg1? You maniacs
iRobot. 🤷🏻♀️ I think something this small wouldn't be an issue really. It's the walking, talking androids that I worry about. 😳
@@Waterpassion these things can self replicate and if ai went full skynet they can't be seen but kill everything from the Inside
@@user-kl7ny9bw2t I honestly don't even know what skynet is. I'm assuming it's something from the Terminator movies. Never watched them more than a couple of scenes.
Even so, they're too tiny to be an issue. I'm assuming there's a turn off switch. At least there should be if there isn't. I mean even Data had a "kill" switch
@@user-kl7ny9bw2t also machines cannot make copies of themselves without actual mechanical matter. The only parts that can be replicated are the organic ones.
@Waterpassion Human sized robots can be seen and shot these are microscopic and can be programmed to say clog your arteries or maybe eat your brain possibly explode your heart by Artificial intelligence that gets to smart and turns on humanity or by a rogue nation's hackers if you don't think this could turn ugly fast then better hope they have a vaccine for them 😉
Makes sense, its all chemistry in the end

Dude, this is “controversial” like JFK got a “headache”😂
"From the moment i Understood the weakness of my flesh, It sickened me"
Generally, people have far too high a romantic notion of the concept of “living.” Hair lice are “living.” Lettuce is “living.” Toe fungus is “living.” Cancer cells are “living.” More people need to gain more of a grip and draw their lines of distinction higher.

@@lordoftherakatanempire6072 I understand your point of view and you're probably right for now. But whether or not you trust humans and their governments. Every milestone in science brings new weapons sooner or later. But I agree no one can stop science.

As soon as I heard "Robot made of living cells", I knew it's aims would be destroying cancer cells. We need something at that scale to deal with cancer. Precision is the name of the game.
Scientists are out here playing Spores in real life.
I hate people's fear.
Everytime something remotely useful gets invented, the laymen want to shut it all down because it's like that one scary movie they've seen, annoying as hell.
You are not scared becouse you don't know what shit could be in your head. This is evil to inject biosystem in the head of the child.

So will it grow up to be a deformed frog?
I want to know too. They are animals afterall.
And I don't get why they are called robots when they are living creatures medically deformed.
I doubt that embryo is going to grow up at all after we used it like lego blocks
Aww, it is a cute little thing. 🥰

I could never become a scientist, like how do they even figure this out?
Xenobots can be future, we need more investments from MNC as it would mean that they would be viable in real life which would change our lives sadly we are from that today I hope govt or some billionaire invests some of their money in this
If they can be programed to say attack cancer cells let's say or slow aging could be a new age for humanity I bet The greats are just this technology advanced 1000 years or more
Oh she just snuck the self-replication in there like we wouldn't notice!!

As of late I’ve been thinking about this kind of thing. It’d be nice to one day see robots made with muscles, organs, blood. They could self-repair, fuel themselves from stored cells of energy, and be completely biodegradable
