This is definitely a great idea and the scientists should keep at it! By the way, does anyone know a guy called John Connor and happen to know how I could get in touch with him? Thanks in advance!

I know this is more Terminator-like, but can I use it on my 2020s or Transformers bingo card as well?

And this is the only video they could get? Most UFO footage is better than this

If that thing's face resembles Robert Patrick's in any shape or form we better kill it as quickly as possible

Wow the government has been funding ways to get into a prison cell covertly for no reason. Model E95731N

D-1000 has come to life? They haven't even come up with the guy who says I'll be back yet?

Watch the stomach video further down the article it’s pretty lame, the term robot is very loosely applied, it’s like some type of ferromagnetic form of gallium that they can melt with a induction heater and control its movements with a magnet

They move metal with a magnet and melt it with induction.

The whole reforming thing is bullshit. They just melt it over a mold.

This is definitely when humanity ends. Just because it looked cool in a movie doesn't mean we actually need to do it

“The same team that built the first living robots (“Xenobots,” assembled from frog cells—reported in 2020) has discovered that these computer-designed and hand-assembled organisms can swim out into their tiny dish, find single cells, gather hundreds of them together, and assemble “baby” Xenobots inside their Pac-Man-shaped “mouth”—that, a few days later, become new Xenobots that look and move just like themselves.”

I guess the headline is technically true? I don't know if I'd call this a robot. Maybe more like a gallium manipulator
