A few days ago we learned about making drones with pineapple leaves. And this time it was known about the robot made of ice.
This 'ice robot' was created by a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Grap Lab. This robot capable of reconstructing itself will be sent to space missions.
Details of the robot were unveiled at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS). It is reported that since ice will be found in all galaxies, these ice robots will be able to repair themselves. Automatic configuration feature has been added to the robot. Replica robots can also be made easily.
The ice robot weighs only 7.3 kilograms. Can move comfortably if not melted at room temperature.
Researchers are very optimistic about this ice robot. Devin Carroll, a member of the research team, told IEEE Spectrum that he and his co-inventor Mark Yim invented the ice robot with the intention of building a robotic system operated from remotely available material in remote or hostile environments.
