A liquid robot is a type of robot that is made of liquid metal microparticles. These robots can change their shape and move through tight spaces by manipulating external magnetic fields. They are also capable of carrying heavy loads and completing complex tasks. Liquid robots have been compared to the character T-1000 from the Terminator movie franchise, which was a cyborg assassin that could morph its way around solid objects.
The metal microbot is made out of liquid metal microparticles, which can be steered and reshaped by external magnetic fields. The robot was presented as part of a study into the metal microparticles, known as a type of magnetoactive phase transitional matter, that can morph shape, move quickly, be controlled easily and carry many times its own body weight.
Liquid robots have various potential applications, such as in flexible electronics, healthcare, and robotics. They can be used for good purposes, such as reaching hard-to-reach spaces in clinical and mechanical settings.
