Living robots might sound like an oxymoron, but they're here, and they're challenging everything we know about biotechnology. Xenobots are computer-generated, programmable lifeforms made out of stem cells harvested from the African frog, Xenopus laevis.
Living Robots From Human Cells

Making human robots is a front runner scientific and technological research and making of tiny living human robots from human cells may be a new scientific discovery but our mythology has full such stories of making human similar robots but without any sound base of the scientific or technological concepts. Just to mention that in the famous Ramayana and Mahabharata epics, we always come to know about the creation of human robots by great warriors like Ravana and Meghanath (Inderjit) during the fierce battle in order to dupe the enemy. They are mentioned to create their similar (human robots) to disguise the opponents. The difference was said to be that such robots were without blood i.e. no bleeding used to take place from these similar when they were heart. However, other things were just similar to thereal human. Scientists are also eagerly working on the concept to make human robots and recently significant advances have taken place in this direction.
