Hail to our new overlords
Tufts University has received federal funding to develop chemical robots that will be able to squeeze into spaces as tiny as 1 centimeter, then morph into something 10 times larger, and ultimately biodegrade. The “chembots” could access urban environments, tunnels, caves and debris fields, and carry out other risky operations in complex environments.
Here is the original DARP grant.
