We've Seen This Movie

Look, people. We know how this ends.

If you're going to use frog cells to make living robots that can work together and heal themselves.

You. Don't. Call. Them. Xenobots.

Like.

Seriously.

This is just asking for some interesting headlines.

(The reason is that the cells come from Xenopus laevis but really, did nobody involved in this project ever watch a creature sci fi movie).

(They can't reproduce, die in a few days, and they're looking at putting them in people to deliver cancer drugs and the like. But. Really. That name).
