The xenobot had been predicted to be a valuable tool in medicine and other fields. It is expected not only to help treat cancer but keep the aquatic bodies clean.
After several years of development in Robotics, Biotechnology, and synthetic biology, scientists were concerned about how they could develop living cells that could perform a certain task. This then led some researchers at Tuft University and the University of Vermont to investigate what we now call the xenobot.
But that wasn't all, the researcher had to replicate the virtual procedure manually. And so skin cells and heart cells of frogs were obtained and were joined together using microsurgery tools and following the designs that were successful virtually. With the use of tiny forceps and electrodes, researchers joined thousands of cells together one after the other under the microscope.
If equipped with reproductive systems , they may be capable of doing so at scale. In biomedical settings, one could envision such biobots removing plaque from artery walls, identifying cancer, or settling down to differentiate or control events in locations of disease. A beneficial safety feature of such constructions is that in the absence of specific metabolic engineering, they have a naturally limited lifespan.Xenobots could one day be a very useful tool in the fight against cancer.
The researchers suggest that Xenobots could one day be programmed to "seek out and digest toxic or waste products and microplastics, or identify molecules of interest in environments physically inaccessible to robots." The bots' ability to replicate could also be exploited to allow them to undertake this function at scale.Additionally, it has been proposed that xenobot could also be able to detect harmful radioactive elements in the environment.
