Colloidal device in the liquid state, kept in a fixed volume by surface tension or by a confining membrane that protects them from a harsh environment, could be used as biologically inspired autonomous robotic systems with unique capabilities: they could change shape according to a specific exogenous command or by means of a fully integrated adaptive system, and provide an innovative solution for many future applications, such as space exploration in extreme or otherwise challenging environments. A. Chiolerio and M. A. Quadrelli provide an overview of this topic in Progress Report 1700036.

液体机器人：智能流体系统：自主液体机器人的问世（Adv。Sci。7/2017）

液态胶体装置可以通过表面张力或通过限制膜来保持固定体积的方式来保护其免受恶劣环境的影响，可以用作具有独特功能的受生物启发的自主机器人系统：它们可以根据特定的外源性改变形状指挥或借助完全集成的自适应系统，并为未来的许多应用提供创新的解决方案，例如在极端或其他挑战性环境中进行太空探索。A. Chiolerio和MA Quadrelli在进度报告1700036中提供了有关此主题的概述。
