Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) designed a "material-like" collective of programmable micro-robots, which can behave like a fluid or bond together to create new solid structures. The team developed the micro-robotic equivalents of these three biological processes using magnets and eight motorized gears mounted to each robot's circular outer layer. Powered by machine learning, thousands of micro-robots could theoretically allow researchers to assemble the collective into any desired shape with precise control.
