Neurobots: Tiny living robots now use neurons to guide movement and behavior

SMRTR summary

Scientists created "neurobots" — tiny living robots made from frog embryonic cells that include functional nervous systems for the first time. Unlike previous biobots that moved using simple cellular mechanisms, these neurobots contain self-organizing neural networks that actively control movement and behavior, making them more elongated and capable of complex actions.
