Researchers explore how to set up chapheshifting, T-1000 style robots

Researchers have developed small robots that can work together in the form of changing and changing and “like liquid” – a concept that still has a bordering by nightmares T-1000 Robot Assassin “Terminator 2.” from

Tip Santa Barbara’s Matthew Devlin’s team told this work A document recently published in science“Write the visibility of robot collections that can be converted into almost any form of physical properties”

Molecular Institute of Biology and Genetics Otger Campàs at the Max Planck Institute, Ars Taught TECHNICA The team inspired the tissues in the embryos to test and design robots with similar opportunities. These robots have a motorized gear within the photodetants, which allow them to move around in collective, magnets and take instructions from a flashlight filter from a flashlight.

Campàs remains with the problems of the reality “far from the terminator”, size and power. The robots of researchers were slightly more than 5 centimeters in diameter, although the goal is to reduce them to 1 or 2 centimeters or even more.
