The future of robotics is here, and it’s more advanced than ever. A new type of robot, known as a ‘Terminator’ robot, has the ability to transform its shape in order to escape from tight spaces. This incredible feat is made possible by two unique capabilities: melting and magnets.
When faced with an obstacle such as a cage or wall that cannot be traversed normally, these robots are able to liquify their bodies into liquid form and move through even the smallest cracks or crevices. Once they have reached their destination on the other side of the barrier, they can then reform themselves back into solid form again using magnetic forces which act like glue between each individual particle within them.
This technology could revolutionize many industries where accessibility is limited due to difficult terrain or small spaces; for example search-and-rescue operations in collapsed buildings after natural disasters could benefit greatly from this innovation since it would enable robots to access areas that humans may not be able reach safely or quickly enough without putting lives at risk. In general this technology gives us greater insight into how we can use robotics for good – allowing us unprecedented levels of exploration while also keeping people safe at all times!
