Cov kws tshawb fawb tau hloov cov hlwb thiab tsim cov tshuab muaj sia tshiab. Hu ua xenobot, cov no tsis yog hom tsiaj tshiab tab sis cov khoom siv dawb huv, tsim los pab tib neeg cov kev xav tau yav tom ntej.
Yog hais tias biotechnology thiab genetic engineering yog kev qhuab qhia cog lus tias yuav muaj peev xwm loj ntawm tib neeg kev noj qab haus huv, ces ntawm no yog 'xob xumob', ib kauj ruam tom ntej, ib yam khoom ntawm kev sib cuam tshuam ntawm kev tshawb fawb ntawm kev suav thiab kev loj hlob biology uas yog ob qho tib si tshiab hauv kev tshawb fawb thiab muaj kev siv tau zoo heev suav nrog hauv tshuaj thiab ib puag ncig kev tshawb fawb.
Cov tsiaj tshiab, xenobots, tau tsim thawj zaug ntawm super computer ntawm Universality of Vermont ces tau sib sau ua ke thiab sim los ntawm biologists ntawm Tufts University.
Cov kws tshawb fawb suav thawj zaug tau tsim ntau txhiab tus neeg sib tw tsim qauv rau lub neej tshiab uas siv cov txheej txheem evolutionary los yog algorithm. Tsav los ntawm cov kev cai ntawm biophysics, kev tsim ua tiav lossis simulated creatures tau ua kom zoo ntxiv thiab cov qauv zoo tshaj plaws tau raug xaiv rau kev sim.
Tom qab ntawd cov kws kho tsiaj tau coj mus rau hauv kev hloov pauv hauv silico tsim rau lub neej daim ntawv. Lawv siv lub qe qe los ntawm embryos ntawm Qav Xenopus laevis (Xenobots, cov nyob robots muab nws lub npe los ntawm hom qav no) thiab sau cov qia hlwb. Cov noob qoob loo tau muab cais tawm thiab cov hlwb ntawm daim tawv nqaij thiab lub plawv cov leeg hlwb raug txiav thiab koom nrog ze ze rau cov qauv tsim los txog thaum ntxov.
Cov ntaub ntawv sib sau ua ke, rov kho dua lub neej no tau ua haujlwm - cov hlwb ntawm daim tawv nqaij tsim qee yam kev tsim qauv thaum cov leeg nqaij tuaj yeem cuam tshuam kev sib koom ua ke. Thaum cov kev sim tom qab, xenobots tau pom tias tau hloov zuj zus mus ua qhov chaw, kev siv khoom, kev thauj khoom, thiab kev coj tus cwj pwm. Tsis tas li ntawd, cov khoom tsim xenoots tuaj yeem tswj hwm tus kheej thiab kho tus kheej ib yam nkaus thaum muaj kev puas tsuaj thiab laceration.
Cov computer no tsim creatures tuaj yeem siv rau hauv kev xa tshuaj ntse. Lawv kuj tuaj yeem pab ntxuav cov khib nyiab pov tseg. Tab sis, ntau tshaj li txhua daim ntawv thov, nws yog feat nyob rau hauv science.
