<ul><li>Researchers have developed a swarm of cylindrical robots that can behave like a material and support the weight of a person.</li><li>These robots, equipped with magnets and gears, can perform structure-forming, healing, and support significant weight.</li><li>Inspired by embryonic cells, the robots can self-organize into various shapes and exhibit behaviors similar to cells within a honeycomb.</li><li>The team's primary goal was to create a material that can switch between rigid and soft states, with the ability to change shape and strength as needed.</li></ul>
