Spectrum: Video: iRobot's Shape-Shifting Blob 'Bot Tak. This is by far one of the coolest and weirdest robot prototypes we at IEEE Spectrum have ever seen.
Meet iRobot's soft, shape-shifting robot blob. It rolls around and changes shape, and it will be able to squeeze through tiny cracks in a wall when the project is finished. (Skip the first 1:50 minutes of the video above to see the blob in action.) Researchers from iRobot and the University of Chicago discussed their palm-sized soft robot, known as a chemical robot, or chembot, at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems yesterday.
It's "the first demonstration of a completely soft, mobile robot using jamming as an enabling technology," they write in a paper presented at the conference. Speech recognition - a component in the evolution of conversatio. Main Page - Gossple. Gitex Robot.
