A new magnetic slime robot that uses tech exactly like the liquid metal terminator tech Has been made
“They” clearly know how it would be done. NOT GOOD.
This is still in the (wirelessly) tethered phase with external control circuits but if those circuits ever do become integrated watch out. Considering how long it took other robotic tech to go from “showpiece” to reality, the fully autonomous liquid metal robot is probably 10 years off. I am only saying this because the control is so good that it can grab and pull things already. That’s spooky.
The magnetic slime robot that could retrieve accidentally swallowed objects
A robot made of magnetic slime with a custard-like consistency can navigate narrow passages, grasp objects and fix broken circuits. It could be deployed inside the body to perform tasks such as retrieving objects swallowed by accident. Learn more ➤ https://newscientist.com/article/2314…
