Nothing to see here. Just a robot that can blend in with the background. Wait.. where did it go?
Compared to Harry Potter’s Cloak of Invisibility, this RGB color changing robot may seem like nothing. But, keep in mind that this is just a 3D-printed prototype model built with plasmonic displays. Apparently, it uses a bunch of light sensors to detect the background color and project it on the displays.
At the moment, the robot can only camouflage in red, green, blue. However, Guoping Wang and his team mates from Wuhan University in China has big plans to develop this robot into something big.
