Scientists in South Korea have successfully created a real "liquid robot". This was reported by zamon.uz here.
The innovative robot, developed by researchers at Seoul National University and Gachon University, can change its shape, pass through narrow spaces, and even split into small parts and then reassemble itself.
This technology reminds of the T-1000 liquid robot from the famous "Terminator 2" movie and indeed, this movie has inspired the authors of the robot.
The robot's main material is a special liquid covered with waterproof particles. This allows it to navigate complex and tight spaces. It can be controlled through sound waves, allowing it to move in water or on solid surfaces.
This technology can be widely used in medicine (for example, delivering drugs to precise locations), emergency situations (in rescue operations), and microengineering. According to the scientists, this discovery marks the beginning of a new era in robotics development.
