Researchers did assure the world that their robot mini was never tasked with the murder of John Connor, so that's nice.

Senior author Professor Carmel Majidi explained the science behind the shape shifting robot, revealing that magnetic particles come into play in two ways to facilitate the liquidation.

"One is that they make the material responsive to an alternating magnetic field, so you can, through induction, heat up the material and cause the phase change." she said, as per Matter.

"But the magnetic particles also give the robots mobility and the ability to move in response to the magnetic field.
