Living, Biological Robots Could Someday Save Your Life

Computer scientists and biologists have teamed up to create a creature heretofore unseen on Earth: a living robot. Made from the cells of frogs and designed by artificial intelligence, they’re called xenobots, and they may soon revolutionize everything from how we fight pollution to organ transplants.

Imagine if humans could camouflage like octopuses, had lungs that could breathe toxins and under water, had bones as tough as steel, muscles that made them stronger than gorillas, and many more. If done right it could be one of the best things to happen to humans.

    As Han Hai said that it is considered as a blackbox because that's how the AI is built. A multidimensional data space is given and numerous simulations are performed on it and the machine tries to model the solutions of the task into a mathematical function. If it is easier to visualize, think of it in 3-dimensions that we are familiar with. Consider a f(x,y,z) is a function of the form ax + by + cz + k = 0, then all the values for x, y and z that satisfy the equation is task to be performed. Simulations are performed and values of a,b and c (weights) are adjusted according to how correct or wrong values of x, y & z are when satisfying f(x,y,z) = 0. Now your 3-D function might be like a trajectory of an insect in space/air. What AI does is take this idea into a higher dimensional space which can't be visualized and solve the given task based on a provided function or evaluation of its known range of outputs.

    I love when the video talks about evolution as an extremely complex, but aimless and inefficient computer, working off trial and error. It feels very intuitive to me that some sort of AI could leverage existing patterns to be magnitudes faster. Not to mention it can simulate a 'trial' in milliseconds, not years.

BOINC will allow anyone in the world to run your cell simulations on their computers, do the simulations while they're sleeping, then send you the best proven models so you can develop better cells. There are dozens of BOINC and folding@home projects like this you can run and simulate the molecules better.

    This could only have been designed by a computer science student... who doesn't understand how the immune system would attack any foreign body, leading to massive inflammation, blood clotting, and ultimately death. Not to mention how large a clump of cells is in comparison with how tiny blood vessels are, so these bots would likely block arterioles leading to loss of oxygenation and host cell death. When your model is fundamentally flawed, your output will be necessarily flawed.

    They need to have that computer evolve the human brain until it realizes this is a bad idea

    If you're evolving the human brain you can just eliminate the things that make it a bad idea. Greed, self interest, power, money. Either way, technology never goes back in the box.

    I like the idea about cleaning up the oceans. I would like to see the potential of these "artificial organisms" in real life tests - with better results. I want a full scale project started immediately. Regards The Fallen Engineer
