This isn't your typical artificial intelligence robot, but scientists at the University of Hawaii have created bubble "robots" that can be directed using lasers. They hope to use the bubble robots to build micro-structures. And once the bubble bots are no longer of use, they can be popped.
The idea of using small robots to cure cancer or work with soldiers in combat zones is not a new concept. But the size and materials used to make the bots varies from project to project -- just like the tasks they're built to perform. But one thing's for sure -- robots are cool. Check out the gallery below for pics of amazing bots, and be sure to watch the video above for more on the University of Hawaii's bubble bots.
