Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, which explores how to computationally simulate (or surpass) humanlike intelligence. While some AI techniques (such as expert systems) use ...

Picture a robot capable of changing its shape on demand, squishing, bending, or stretching to perform various tasks like navigating tight spaces or retrieving objects. While this may sound like ...
