iRobot's Chembot the chemical robot can transform into various shape

iRobot, a company specializing in buildiong robots has created a new soft morphing robot, this one is different because it was a chemical robot - soft like a gel when touched. Its one-of-a-kind the shape shifting robot. The idea is to create a robot that can walk smoothly in tight spaces such as below the door, and as easily as in flat ground. Chembot outer skin was made from silicon and the shape can be transformed via taking in air just like when we breath and push it out to take another different shape. Easy to say, by controlling air inflation and deflation.
