Researchers at Harvard have recently unveiled a new version of their bendy crawling robot that can change colour to either stand out from or blend in with its surroundings. Its design was inspired by the camouflage skills of sea creatures such as octopuses, cuttlefish and squid. The small channels, pumping the pigment into the robot’s body, can be filled with temperature-specific fluids, enabling the robot to escape thermal detection.
