Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have created a slimy soft robot designed to enter the human body. The bot is made up of a slime containing magnetic particles which can be manipulated using external magnets. Scientists hope to one day deploy the slimy creation into a human digestive system to help retrieve objects that have been accidentally swallowed. | Mashable

This poop-looking robot could one day perform tasks inside the human body. The robot is made of magnetic slime that can be controlled by external magnets to move, rotate, and form shapes. The video demonstrates its ability to navigate through narrow passages, grasp and enclose objects, and even repair broken circuits. The robot is the result of a collaboration between researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Harbin Institute of Technology. | GIGadgets
