NASA Develop 'Transformers' Robot

Robot that was originally to be one hundred separate parts and then be out of the plane to the desert.

This is in the desert, the parts Superbot can change shape and ignites a wheeled vehicle to run in the desert. If the field has changed so the hill, the robot also switch out the form with the feet to climb it.

Quoted from FoxNews, Monday (29/6/2009), the NASA researchers hope that robots can change himself independently. If environmental conditions change, the robot can also adjust the form of the body automatically.

"If the robots had to climb something, he immediately bring foot. If you have to down the valley, so he changed the ball and get moving," said Wei-Min Shen, director of the Polymorphic Robotics Laboratory at the University of Southern California who participated in handling Superbot.

Superbot possible to establish itself from the various parts separately. For each module that is separate robot independent. Separate parts of this communication via radio or infrared, which then can unify body.
