The army gets to kill people with a damn XBOX joystick... Killing just got even more impersonal.

Icosahedral Blob Soft Robot

Amoeba-Like Whole-Skin Locomotion Robots Ooze Right On By

Quote from: http://www.hizook.com/
The iRobot prototype is the product of $3.3M in DARPA funding from it's Chembot project:

During military operations it can be important to gain covert access to denied or hostile space.  Unmanned platforms such as mechanical robots are of limited effectiveness if the only available points of entry are small openings.

The goal of the Chemical Robots (ChemBots) Program is to create a new class of soft, flexible, mesoscale mobile objects that can identify and maneuver through openings smaller than their dimensions and perform various tasks.

The program seeks to develop a ChemBot that can perform several operations in sequence:

Travel a distance
Traverse an arbitrary-shaped opening much smaller than the largest characteristic dimension of the robot itself
Reconstitute its size, shape, and functionality after traversing the opening;
Travel a distance
Perform a function or task using an embedded payload.

This program creates a convergence between materials chemistry and robotics through the application of any one of a number of approaches, including gel-solid phase transitions, electro- and magneto-rheological materials, geometric transitions, and reversible chemical and/or particle association and dissociation.

With ChemBots, our warfighters can gain access to denied spaces and perform tasks safely, covertly, and efficiently.

Pssssh, that's old news though.  In my opinion, the future of robotics lies here.

Pretty cool, but when you're ready to advance past the kiddy stuff...
