This tiny robot can melt, escape from a prison by sliding through secure bars, and then reform into a solid and complete tasks.

But, in contrast with the film, the inventors of this robot believe their discovery can be used for good — particularly in clinical and mechanical settings — by reaching hard-to-reach spaces.

“This material can achieve Terminator-2 like performance, including fast movement and heavy load bearing when it is in its solid state, and shape changing in its liquid state,” Chengfeng Pan, an engineer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong who co-authored the study, told The Washington Post, when asked about his discovery and the comparisons being made to the Terminator movies.

It looks like a Lego minion?

This the t-100! T-1000’s predecessor

I saw this movie, it wasn’t good for the humans.

wordsbypaul Feels like the prequel to Terminator…

So we're passing by the T-800 and going straight to the T-1000.

Would be an amazing way to get things to space. Send as fluid, takes up whatever space there is, they arrive and then go solid. Cc elonmusk nasa

Watch This Robot Melt and Reform Itself Like the TerminatorResearchers have created an object made from microparticles embedded in liquid gallium that, when heated with magnets, melts into a liquid that can pass through the bars of a cage—just like the T-1000 did in 'Terminator 2.' So they can do this but still the world is drowning in plastic and pollution. Welcome to the world of AI. Always remember that '2001: A Space Odyssey' tried to warn us.
