That scene in Terminator 2, where the T-1000 melts and reforms after Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 blasts it to pieces, just got one step closer to becoming a reality. Sort of. In a rather less dramatic, but no less impressive scene (particularly considering it’s real), a six-legged robot has been shown to recover in under two minutes after having two of its limbs broken, thanks to software developed by a team of roboticists. In another video, a robotic arm that has had several motors smashed, relearns how to hold and move an object with the same accuracy.
