E.coli, the next Raspberry Pi?
Imagine a scenario where — tiny living robots work inside of your body, sensing and delivering life-saving drugs, or deploying them out to hostile environments, from the sea to even outer space, again, sensing and delivering and monitoring various useful things [15,6]. But even more interestingly, imagine if these robots were actually living bacteria, such as E.coli? As far-fetched as this may sound, the reality is probably a little closer than you think. In the realm of IoT, or more precisely, the Internet of Bacterial Things (IoBT), researchers have been making advances in making this into reality.
