A new phase-changing material built from wax and foam developed by researchers at MIT is capable of switching between hard and soft states. (Learn more: mitne.ws/1wlz4bn)
Robots built from this material would be able to operate more like biological systems with applications ranging from difficult search and rescue operations, squeezing through rubble looking for survivors, to deformable surgical robots that could move through the body to reach a particular point without damaging any of the organs or vessels along the way.

This is great. Once I heard that science is "what is" and engineering is "what could be". I vividly see that they're creating something new.

@GengoNoTabi 10 лет назад

In recent science periodicals I have read of several different methods for making different material rigid and then pliable. I think anyone of them would be more practical than a wax impregnated material. This system would obviously have to be housed in a temperature controlled shell, so ambient temperatures didn't affect it, not to mention the problem of load bearing capability.

0:14 I CAN SEE INSIDE HER HEAD THROUGH THOSE NOSTRILS

@wonderbluewaffle 10 лет назад

GOD DAMN HER NOSTRILS ARE HUGE!!!!

@xjustxanotherxguyx 10 лет назад

Lolololo I was thinking the same thing.

@Mawukoattivor 10 лет назад

OMG that's what I was thing the whole video

@francisguidera972 10 лет назад

LMAO! The elephant in the room! You said it, everyone was thinking it. It's not a 'good' angle for the camera. but the tech is also 'not interesting'. What happens when it get's a little warm. It just collapses on the floor? :) Also, wax is used in this way inside thermostats for most vehicles... eventually, it gets sick and tired of melting and cooling and gums up.

@godcreator8432 10 лет назад

I wanted to hide from her.... WHY ... should of worn a mask, or fake mustache, or you know.... Kept your fucking face out of the image :P

youtube comment section never fails to disappoint

@h3egypt 8 лет назад

robotic limbs arms legs even joints and fingers with this is gonna be amazing

@MakoEve 10 лет назад

The description starting from 0:30 plus her hand motion got me in the wrong mindset.

@carlmalone100 9 лет назад

How would you keep external heat out? so that your robot doesn't deform when you don't want it to.

@jimbones1916 10 лет назад

Soft robots? Of course only the women would invent that.

@TheGildedStar 10 лет назад

Towards the end: "This could be useful in situations where a robot would need to squeeze into a tight space in a person's body" Uhhh, have a squishy robot spider crawl into my anus? I think I'll just accept my cancer.

@SuperPeter05 7 лет назад

Robots are not fat, they are made as small and slim as possible. Y compare to a mouse who squishes through a hole in a wall.

@RepublicanG8mer 10 лет назад

There goes MIT again... Making the world a better place.

@sbtweeds 10 лет назад

This could be used for back problems someday.

@tosgem 9 лет назад

So wonderful and heart warming to see women in science! Keep up, boys!

@seizabot 10 лет назад

All I can think about while watching this video : Noooooostriiiiilllll

@aaronparness 10 лет назад

Great work guys. Lots of applications on the horizon for this type of system. What is the cycle time? Or rephrased, is this a one actuation/minute system or 1/second?

@JorgeGamaliel 10 лет назад

Soft Robotics for many applications.

@alejandrorosales2863 8 лет назад

this idea hasn't gripped me

@Novous 10 лет назад

So it's temperature dependent? How is it supposed to work in climates other than room temperature? Too cold and it won't flex. Too hot and it'll collapse.

@mikewilliams736 10 лет назад

So the robot gets hard whenever it's cold. I usually have some difficulty with that myself. Very advanced.

@Duuuuuuuke 10 лет назад

How sensitive it that material to temperature? I don't expect it to be useless on a really hot/ cold day but would the performance drop?

@johntopf1425 10 лет назад

This is so cool.

@rtermnc2 10 лет назад

you better create (faster) a device like one that Doctor Octopus has!

@prowlus 10 лет назад

So did you get the material from a big space bounty hunter that transforms into a lambo?

@toastersman217 10 лет назад

This is awesome!

@skaterboyz2000 10 лет назад

NICE, they day will come

@js7un165 10 лет назад

Ultimate flexibility - octopus.

@chitownmo 10 лет назад

the military applications are considerable.

@poorpotato4467 10 лет назад

squeeze through small parts of the body... heheheh

@agksmehx8936 10 лет назад

0:30 - 0:50 -- THAT's what she said!!! LMAO. She keeps a straight face too. "selectively change the stiffness" (1:30-1:45) :v

@Gr8Success 9 лет назад

i think this robots will be very useful for them in the kitchen ...

@angelpehuen 10 лет назад

Wow! Synthetic Muscle!!

@ghhygghuu 10 лет назад

Great thinking n innovative.......

@TJankris 10 лет назад

Those nostrils.. She must get this a lot though, scary to imagine.

@Crewchief227 10 лет назад

Rule 32 this will be used so that didoes can get hard ons on demand

@kaishang6406 3 года назад

robot: fall flat

@Mawukoattivor 10 лет назад

This is why you should not pick your nose

@JorgeGamaliel 10 лет назад

Awesome!!

@Rarry44 10 лет назад

Squishy Robots .... hmmm remind anyone of Aatrox's new Mecha skin?

@anthonybarrera6605 10 лет назад

This is a fail , they would need to be deployed in controlled environments and to that end in order to reach such temperature fluctuations it would only serve as an outer skin,

@Righteous1ist 10 лет назад

I would like a maid robot that is very human like in appearance and can do everything a human can do, including sex HAHA.

@kingsleyzissou1120 10 лет назад

I got yer tunable stiffness right here!! Sorry couldn't resist.

The intetion is good... But at some point some idiot will make one of those with a machine gun... History of mankind.

@Samoss13 10 лет назад

Très intéressant. Par contre en voyant Annette la première chose qui me saute aux yeux, c'est ces narines :D Mais on est pas là pour ça :)

NOstrils... what happens when you pick you pick your nose too much? thissss 0:14

@UglyKidMetallica81 10 лет назад

Large nostrils.

Is EVERYONE at MIT Asian? is it a perquisite or something?

@TourettesSomething 10 лет назад

No, Asians are just the Master Race.

@Raylet2 9 лет назад

Well considering their is roughly 7 billion people on earth and 4 billion of them are Asian it's simply no surprise to see them everywhere. No master race, no 'only Asians are smart' etc etc.

@godcreator8432 10 лет назад

I am sorry But that Nose almost made me puke out my cereal :/

@Dwonis 10 лет назад

What is that horrible, repetitive background noise? It's incredibly distracting!

CUT DOWN TREE (2) Matthew 3:10 I had to cut down 3 banana trees today. Remember when I told you that after a banana tree bears fruit it will not bear again? So banana trees only get one chance to be fruitful. These 3 banana trees hadn’t borne fruit in three years! Got me thinking of those of us who think that remaining neutral makes us immune from punishment. None of us will be ignorant of JESUS, and no, I am not incriminating you by telling you :). Be fruitful.
