Scientists create Terminator 2-like robot, will take shape again even if it melts

This robot, which has the ability to overcome many obstacles, can be effective in areas such as electronic assembly.

Many years ago, the film 'Terminator 2' showed a robot that could change its shape. The audience was surprised to see this and there was speculation whether this could actually happen. Scientists have done it. Earlier this month, scientists announced the creation of a robot that can change the shape between solid and liquid. Apart from this, it can also face a lot of obstacles and environments without compromising strongly.

Researchers have applied this technology in various situations to demonstrate the capabilities of this robot. Researchers led by a team of Chinese scientists say that this robot, which has the ability to overcome many obstacles, can be effective in areas such as electronic assembly. "Giving robots the ability to switch between solid and liquid conditions can increase their use," Science Alert quoted Chengfeng Pan, an engineer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, as saying. The study described how microscopic magnetic particles were mixed into liquid metal and how those particles heat and cool metal based on adjusting magnetic functions.

Along with this study, researchers have also shown a video of changing the shape of the robot. It shows that the robot is locked in a cell and after a few seconds it increases its temperature and goes back to the ground like a Terminator 2 robot and comes out of the closet. After this, he immediately regains his shape with cooling down.

To create the robot, scientists have used gelium metal, which rears at temperatures of more than 29 degrees. Scientists had added a mixture of gelium with magnetic particles, creating a type of machine that converts magnetoactive solids and liquids. Scientists are planning to use it in some real works. However, scientists will need to make some changes to the robot for this.
