Chembot being developed by iRobot

iRobot Corporation has been developing a bot that can shift from one shape to another. IEEE Spectrum carries an article on this new technology titled, iRobot's Shape-Shifting Blob 'Bot Takes Its First Steps.

This is by far one of the coolest and weirdest robot prototypes we at IEEE Spectrum have ever seen.
Meet iRobot's soft, shape-shifting robot blob. It rolls around and changes shape, and it will be able to squeeze through tiny cracks in a wall when the project is finished.

Robot Cars Acting Like Fish

A school of robot cars developed by Nissan are capable of avoiding crashes by acting like fish, according to an article by Tim Hornyak titled, Nissan's robot cars mimic fish to avoid crashing.

The Eporo, Nissan says, is the first robot car designed to move in a group by sharing its position and other information. The aim is to incorporate the technology into passenger cars to reduce accidents and traffic jams.
Although a group of Eporos may look like a gang of cybernetic Jawa, Nissan says the cars' design was inspired by the way fish move in schools.
