This shape-changing robot just got a lot smaller. In a new study, engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder debuted mCLARI, a 2-centimeter-long modular robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps in multiple directions.

The research was led by Kaushik Jayaram, assistant professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, and doctoral student Heiko Kabutz. Their work …
