Researchers explore how to build a T-1000 style robot, ShapeShifting.

Researchers have developed a small robot that can work together with a group that changes, hard, and changes the form between “fluids”.

A team led by UC Santa Barbara’s Matthew Devlin explained this work in a recent paper, and wrote, “The cohesive vision of the robot unit, which can be arranged in almost all forms with all physical characteristics, has long been interesting in science and novels.”

MAX Plank Institute of Molecular and Professor OTGER CAMPKSS, a professor at Molecular and Genetics, told ARS Technica that ARS Technica was inspired by the organization of the embryos to attempt and design a robot with similar functions. The robot has an electric gear that can be maintained by maintaining the magnet so that it can move in the group, and there is a photot detector that can receive instructions from a flashlight with a polarizing filter.

Campàs said that the reality is far from the terminator. The researcher’s robot is a little over 5 centimeters in diameter, but the goal is to fall to 1 ~ 2 centimeters or smaller.
