Princeton invents shape-shifting robot that moves, molds, morphs with magnetic power
SMRTR summary
Princeton engineers have created a shape-shifting robot called a metabot that can expand, move, and change form using only magnetic fields, without motors or gears. Inspired by origami, the metabot blurs the line between materials and robots, potentially leading to advances in medicine, soft robotics, aerospace, and self-regulating materials.
