WVU sees potential in shape-shifting robot named ‘Loopy’

Roboticists at West Virginia University are exploring the potential of a “multicellular robot” named Loopy, which could determine its own shape with minimal human intervention.

Led by Professor Yu Gu, the research team will test Loopy’s ability to use its interconnected cells to mark the boundary of contaminated areas, like oil spills.

Loopy is an example of “swarm robotics,” where simple, decentralized reactions among its 36 cells lead to complex, coordinated behaviors, WBOY 12 has reported.
