Robotics creatures made from unicellular animals
According to New Scientist magazine, in the impression of humans, biotic robots may appear only in sci-fi stories, but this is probably about to come true. Researchers from the Western University of England (UWE) have recently received a funding for scientific research, they will begin to build robots from unicellular animals .
Most animals on earth are unicellular animals. The unicellular organisms seem to be very simple, but they give us their amazing abilities. There are species of microorganisms that can grow in extreme environments, with unicellular animals that can survive for tens of millions of years.
In addition, although the number of unicellular animals is very small, large unicellular animals have shown their ' intelligence '. The intelligent behavior of unicellular animals is not the result of conscious thought, because they are not like humans or other complex organisms, they have no nervous system and cannot have a brain.
Scientists have taken advantage of the ' intelligence ' of unicellular animals, to fabricate a single-celled robot from a few years ago. At that time, the University of Southampton, Ph.D., adopted a star-shaped Slime model, implanted on a 6-foot machine (each star controls one leg), controlling robot movements. Whereas Andrew Adamatzky's design idea was more advanced, he intended to continue to develop on the basis of which built a complete microbial robot.
It is known that the creature of this creature will be named Plasmobot , through stimulating power and light to stimulate chemical reactions. Previously, once through chemical reactions like light, Andrew Adamatzky created a manual control logic switch of the brain.
Andrew Adamatzky said, the next step will be to study this chemical reaction and control chemical reactions, so that Plasmobot can move by default, revolve around and pick up objects, even assemble object. Andrew Adamatzky said the ultimate research goal of this type of creature is to be able to assemble components for small machines.
