Pan’s students explained that they were inspired to bring the shape shifting liquid robot to life after studying sea cucumbers, whose cell tissue stiffness can harden or loosen to protect from predators. The liquid robot only functions in a small testing capacity at this time, but will surely pave the way for future scientific endeavors within this vein.
