Most robots are designed for a specific job, and aren’t very adaptable. But engineers at Virginia Tech have now developed a soft robot that can morph into a range of shapes, such as driving, flying or swimming robots, thanks to a rubber skin full of a metal that switches between liquid and solid forms easily.
This is a companion discussion for the article “Mighty morphing melting metal robot switches from driving to flying drone - https://newatlas.com/robotics/soft-robot-morph-metal/” submitted on the community's news feed.
