British inventor James Bruton has built what most of us wildly dreamed of in childhood – a transformer robot that you can actually ride. The robot is a functional, shape-shifting vehicle that will ...

Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could move and change shape to run obstacle courses ...

Coming to a tight spot near you: CLARI, the little, squishable robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps—with a bit of inspiration from the world of bugs. CLARI, which ...

The Tetraflex robot was designed with this fact in mind, as it can change shape to adopt different modes of locomotion. If a robot is trying to traverse rugged, irregular terrain, it's limited by ...

Now, scientists have demonstrated a tunable metal material which might allow the next class of robots to change their shapes at will. RELATED: M3GAN, HAL, Skynet, and more: 10 time A.I. tried to ...

Smart materials can change their shape or form in response to external stimuli, making them indispensable for many ...

A person-shaped robot liquifies to escape a cage, then cools back into its original shape in a mold placed in the ground outside the bars. Wang and Pan et al. under CC BY-SA Researchers have ...

The individual modules of the Mori3 robot are triangular in shape. The modules easily join together to create polygons of different sizes and configurations in a process known as polygon meshing.

Scientists have designed a tiny, shape-shifting "spider-bot" that can passively manipulate its body as it navigates its environment. The arachnid-inspired robot is a precursor to a bot that could ...

MIT CSAIL researchers have created a system, RoboCraft, that teaches robots how to work with the kid-friendly goo. The platform first takes the image of a shape (in this case, a letter of the ...

The LEGO man-shaped robot melted into a silver slurry and oozed out of the container. Then, it flowed into a nearby mold and restored its earlier form. If the shape-shifting robot sounds familiar ...
