...uh oh. Who thinks self-replicating biological robots are a good idea? The name "Von Neumann" comes to mind.
Thankfully, the xenobots need to be fed frog stem cells that they then use as building blocks. It's actually very hard to get them to breed across multiple generations.
The likely use of such machines? Building organs or medicines in he lab or potentially in your body. The researchers are also trying to design xenobots that will collect microplastics from the environment.
