3D printing robot creates extreme shock-absorbing shape, with help of AI

See how an autonomous robot created a shock-absorbing shape no human ever could — and what it means for designing safer helmets, packaging, car bumpers, and more.

Tiny, shape-shifting robot can squish itself into tight spaces

Imagine a robot that can wedge itself through the cracks in rubble to search for survivors trapped in the wreckage of a collapsed building. Engineers are working toward to that goal with CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect.

A better way to control shape-shifting soft robots

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate control algorithms for shape-shifting soft robots.

Watch this person-shaped robot liquify and escape jail, all with the power of magnets

Inspired by sea cucumbers, engineers have designed miniature robots that rapidly and reversibly shift between liquid and solid states. On top of being able to shape-shift, the robots are magnetic and can conduct electricity. The researchers put the robots through an obstacle course of mobility and shape-morphing tests.
