🇺🇸 ROBOTS THAT CAN GROW, HEAL, AND STEAL PARTS? YEAH, THAT’S REAL NOW

Scientists just made robots that can fix themselves, grow new limbs, and grab parts from other robots like it's a futuristic junkyard buffet.

They're calling it "Robot Metabolism" and it means machines could survive without humans babysitting them.

These bots can link up like magnetic LEGO and even use new limbs to move faster like they're leveling up mid-mission.

Great news for space missions and disaster zones, slightly terrifying news for anyone who’s seen Terminator.
