While it may be many years before shape-shifting robots are deployed in the real world, Chen and his collaborators hope their work inspires other scientists not only to study reconfigurable soft ...

While reminiscent of the shape-shifting T-1000 robot from Terminator 2, researchers emphasize this is only a first step toward adaptive materials previously seen only in science fiction.

HERO-BLUE by the numbers HERO-BLUE is a proof-of-concept robot, measuring 31.5 inches by 23.6 inches by 11.8 inches and weighing 24.9 pounds.

Motivated by the Japanese paper folding technique origami, researchers have created shape-shifting ‘Transformer’ robots. A team at North Carolina State (NC State) University’s method enables ...

Then it would move on to the next finger, and so on. But shape-shifting robots, which are controlled by magnetic fields, can dynamically squish, bend, or elongate their entire bodies.

Goldstein calls the programmable matter claytronics. The tiny robots are catoms, and the 3D replicas are parios. And it’s not all out of a sci-fi movie. Goldstein said.

A new type of shape-shifting robot can amputate its leg to free itself from tricky situations. The robot is the brainchild of a group of engineers at a lab in Connecticut. The robot itself is palm ...

This new robot was shown off in Japan yesterday by Danish researcher Hautop Lund. The ATRON is designed to be completely modular, able to reconfigure itself into one of 100 different shapes with ...
