Venom Movie Robot? China's CUHK Researchers Develop Magnetic Slime Robot for Medical Use (Watch Viral Video)
Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a magnetic slime robot inspired by Venom. Made from neodymium particles, PVA and borax, it can squeeze through 1.5 mm gaps, self-heal, stretch 8.6 times its length, conduct electricity and retrieve swallowed objects, highlighting advances in soft robotics.
Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have created a magnetic slime robot inspired by the movie Venom. The soft robot is made using neodymium particles, PVA and borax, enabling unique capabilities. It can squeeze through gaps as small as 1.5 mm, change shape to grab objects, self heal after being cut and stretch up to 8.6 times its original length. The robot also conducts electricity, reconnects broken circuits and is controlled by an external magnet. One proposed medical use is retrieving swallowed objects without surgery. The development highlights advances in soft robotics for potential practical applications. Honor Robot Phone With Robotic Camera Tipped for August 2026 China Launch.
