Researchers explore how to build a form formation, robots similar to T-1000

The researchers have developed small robots that could work together as a group that changes the shape and even the transformations between solid situations and “liquid similar”-a concept that should be familiar to anyone who is still chasing nightmares T-1000 automatic killer From “Terminator 2.”

A team led by Matthew Devilin from the University of California in Santa Barbara described this work in Recently published paper in scienceWriting that a “coherent collective vision of the automatic units that can arrange in almost any form with any physical characteristics … has long been fascinated by science and imagination.”

Otger Campàs, Professor at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biology and Genetics, Ars Technica said The team was inspired by fetuses to try to design robots with similar capabilities. These robots contain the automatic gears that allow them to mobilize within the mass magnet, so that they can stay connected, and optical detectors that allow them to receive instructions from a manual lamp with the polarization filter.

Campons said that the reality is still “out of the prohibited thing”, while the challenges of size and power remain. Researchers robots were just more than 5 centimeters, although the goal is to reach 1 or 2 centimeters, or even smaller.
