Transformers-like Robots In The Works

Feb 3, 08 09:24 PM PDT


It seems that scientists are now working on Transformers-like robots that are able to shapeshift at the flick of a switch, mimicking ant-like behaviour. You won't find behemoths from the movie making an appearance anytime soon, as these are miniature robots that use electromagnetic forces to cling together and assume different shapes. A final, commercialized product would definitely be more than interesting to look at. It is said that summer of 2008 will see a prototype roll out from the research lab. Could this be the death knell of LEGO?
