Shapeshifting Robotics Breakthrough Reveals Adaptive Materials That Morph and Carry Weight

Scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the Dresden University of Technology have developed a robotic material that can shapeshift into almost any form and carry many times its weight. The UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden team studied living embryonic tissues‘ ability to alter mechanical properties through coordinated cellular behavior, translating that capability into gears, photoreceptors, and rolling magnets. The advan…

Transforming Robot Collectives: Creating Smart Material Behavior in

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden are pioneering a groundbreaking advancement in the field of robotics, creating a collective of robots that behaves much like a material. This innovative concept strives to bridge the gap between traditional robotics and material science, where robotics can mimic the remarkable characteristics of biological materials. The lead researcher, Matthew Devlin, presents a clear vision for the future of robo…
