ICYMI: Expando-cubes, Roboctopi and more
A Japanese firm claims it developed an artificial tongue as accurate as a human's.
Today on In Case You Missed It: Researchers at Harvard have created a "tunable" material that can grow, shrink and change shape on command, which could lead to Capsule Corp-style housing. Italian scientists invented a robotic octopus that leverages shape memory alloys to propel it along without the need for internal robo-bones. Finally, the Intelligent Sensor Design company of Japan has developed an industrial machine capable of tasting in the same manner as the human tongue.Then there's the guy who decided to swordfight a quadcopter. Remember kids, it's all fun and games until the UAV puts out your eye. As always, please share any great tech or science videos you find by using the #ICYMI hashtag on Twitter for @mskerryd.
