Researchers have detailed a melting spy robot that could one day collect information and then melt into an oily puddle after being exposed to UV light or heat. The design of such a robot is highlighted in a paper currently published on the pre-publication server arXiv. According to the paper, the soft robot could collect intelligence as well as take care of other things that might be needed by such a machine.
The melting spy robot is what scientists refer to as a soft robot, meaning that it is made up of materials that are more flexible than those found on conventional robots. These softer materials allow the robots to be more flexible, and they’ve been proposed for several jobs, including delivering medicine to wild animals and even cancer-fighting robots that can travel to specific parts of the body.
