Robotic stingray powered by light-activated muscle cells
Incorporating advances in engineering, cell culture, genetics, and biomechanics, the “living” robot is “clearly a technical tour de force,” says Adam Summers, an integrative biologist at the University of Washington, Seattle. And some think that by melding cells and artificial materials into a pulsating structure, the device brings Parker’s dream of engineering a human heart a step closer. “One can imagine that one day we can use this technology to rebuild parts of the human body,” says Kedi Xu, a neural engineer at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China.

In the event of robots taking over a huge preponderance of our jobs, perhaps it's time for a guaranteed wage. ~$1000/month to cover basic housing and living expenses."As computers perform more of our work, we'd all be free to become artists, scholars and entrepreneurs, in a society no longer centered on the drudgery of daily labor."
