      Engineers and even the U.S. military have been seeking shape-shifting robots that can squeeze into tight spaces, such as cracks under doors in a disaster zone or between delicate parts of a human body on the operating table.

      In the latest development of soft robotics, researchers at MIT report they've created — using materials that can be found at a craft store — a new kind of robot muscle that goes soft when heated and hardens when cooled.
