This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them. ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1779 |

Quoting: Helios Maximus The out-of-control technocracy will surely DOOM mankind sooner or later....sooner is a safe bet. Team builds first living robots that can reproduce And then these new Xenobots can go out, find cells, and build copies of themselves. Again and again. "With the right design - they will spontaneously self-replicate," says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. (snip) "People have thought for quite a long time that we've worked out all the ways that life can reproduce or replicate. But this is something that's never been observed before," says co-author Douglas Blackiston, the senior scientist at Tufts University who assembled the Xenobot "parents" and developed the biological portion of the new study. "This is profound," says Levin. "These cells have the genome of a frog, but, freed from becoming tadpoles, they use their collective intelligence, a plasticity, to do something astounding." In earlier experiments, the scientists were amazed that Xenobots could be designed to achieve simple tasks. Now they are stunned that these biological objects-a computer-designed collection of cells - will spontaneously replicate. "We need to create technological solutions that grow at the same rate as the challenges we face," Bongard says. (<50%) Full Report here: [link to www.robodaily.com (secure)] yikes!
