Shape-Shifting Robotic Blob is a Step Towards a T-1000

October 15th, 2009 by WordPlop

This video shows a robotic shape-shifting blob that can, well, change its shape. It works by inflating itself and unjamming certain cells (parts of its body) to allow them to be flexed. It sounds complicated but when you watch the video it will make much more sense. Very impressive technology, and it looks plain freakish. Not quite a T-1000 though, but we’re getting there.
