To construct the robot, the researchers employed a groundbreaking material known as a "magneto-active transition machine between solid and liquid phase," as described on the Eureka Alert news site.

The modular joints are equipped with motor-side position sensors (based on magneto-resisitve encoders) and link-side torque sensors (based ... The feedback of the torque signal allows for active ...

Amalgam's Magneto did much the same, creating his own robot team to fight for the cause of metamutants, trying to replace his lost family. This red, blue and yellow costume gave Magneto a very ...
