[TAG0]Researchers have detailed a melting spy robot that could one day collect information and then melt into an oily puddle after being exposed to UV light or heat. The design of such a robot is highlighted in a paper currently published on the pre-publication server arXiv. According to the paper, the soft robot could collect intelligence as well as take care of other things that might be needed by such a machine. The melting spy robot is what scientists refer to as a soft robot, meaning that it is made up of materials that are more flexible than those found...
