Meet squid-bot, a robot that camouflages itself: "Scientists have devised a rubbery robot, inspired by the squid and octopus, which can crawl, camouflage itself and hide from infrared cameras. The Pentagon-backed gadget is the latest type of a so-called soft machine, meaning silicone-based robots that are made from squidgy, translucent polymers."

This flexible robot can change colours to blend in or stand out in its environment.
