Original Message Remember the morphing robot T-1000 from the film Terminator 2? Could something like that ever become a reality? The folks at DARPA apparently think so. Last week they issued a request for proposals on developing so-called Chemical Robots (ChemBots), which would change shape in order to squeeze through tiny gaps.

PROGRAM GOALS AND MILESTONES

The goal of this program is to develop a payload-carrying soft robotics platform that can be used in military operations to access denied territory through small openings and perform functions.

The ChemBots Program will be separated into two phases. The goal of Phase I is to develop critical material/architecture technologies and demonstrate a rudimentary meso-scale ChemBot with moving and morphing capabilities. Depending on the success of the Phase I demonstrations, the goal of Phase II will be to develop a suite of fully-functional ChemBots for specific applications.
