Primer - Super transform robot like Transformer

Developers at the University of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. MIT has created a micro-biological robot that transforms and changes functions from roll, roll, push to fly.

2. Robot chat in strange language, threat to humans?
3. Artificial muscles can lift things 1,000 times, 3 times stronger than natural muscles

The special robot is called Primer, made from a stretched polymer plastic. It can change shape when increasing temperature and controlled by magnet.

Originally, each Primer was an exosleletons (bio-robots) in the form of a plastic sheet. But when combining them with a magnetic controller, exosleletons can transform into many other types of hostilities, such as a barrel, a small boat or even a roller coaster.

The computer-designed plastic sheets use origami folding art to ensure accuracy when starting the transformation. Each plate is designed for a different specific purpose.

The Primer has not been able to operate on its own. In order for them to move to the required locations, the researchers still had to remote control.

In the initial test, to shape the boat and move underwater, Primer took three minutes.

In the future, the Primer will continue to be improved to improve movement speed, ability to carry, push objects, and automate and at the same time use multiple shapes at the same time in specific missions.

Recently, research on Primer has been published in Science Robotics.
