Chameleon-Bot with Artificial Skin Changes Color in Real Time
Researchers are one step closer to creating an "invisibility cloak" through active camouflage.Seung Hwan Ko of Seoul National University and colleagues have created a chameleon-inspired robot with thermochromic liquid crystal in its skin. The crystals change color in response to changing temperature, and take on different shades of green, red, and blue at specific temperatures.Below the outer skin layer, Ko and his team wired up stacks of transparent polyimide film coated with silver nanowires that heat up when an electric current passes through them.As a sensor below the chameleon-bot notices the change in background color and signals the heating element to heat up or cool down to the requisite temperature to cause the color change.#chameleon #camouflage #activecamouflage #thermochromicliquidcrystal #SeoulNationalUniversity #chameleonbot #artificialskinVideo and images: Seung Hwan Ko et al.
