  Have u ever wanted to see  a perfectly replicated 3d model of yourself? Well, wait no more because 3d body scanning is here.   This is possible through a set of cameras that capture a 360° view of your body and produces a visual model of yourself for you to see.   This technology can be used in different applications. For example, it can be used scan yourself to produce an exact replica of yourself in virtual reality games.

For example, this robot fish made by M.I.T that swims along side marine life. How do they work? Their main characteristics if these bots is that they are soft, made out of rubber, polymers and even fabric other than the traditional plastic, steel and aluminum. The moving parts like the "actuators" that usually use electric motors are replaced with hydraulics or pneumatics which pump compressed fluid through them making them move in a predictable manner. Others use shape memory alloys that coils and crawls when heat is applied to them, like this octopus robot from "Bio Robotics". Some  have plans to even replace the actuators with actual " living muscles ". One of the reasons these new breed of robots are promising is because of their ability to adapt, which gives them a wide range of applications. They also help in...
