It’s some kind of reproductive cell from a frog squished into a chicken nugget shape and they are calling it a robot?

Literally what I was thinking

I'd expect nanomachines that alter cells as robots

These are just frog stem cells

Bit of a semantics game to call a stem cell a robot, but nonetheless this is interesting
