Trundling Blob Takes Its First Steps

iRobot’s soft, shape-shifting robot blob can roll around and change shape, and it will be able to squeeze through tiny cracks in a wall when the project is finished.

I doubt that climbing walls, ceilings, trouser legs and so forth will present much of a problem for a mature version of this; I’m thinking of geckos’ feet. An alarming prospect altogether.
