Soft Bodied Robots

In the Terminator trilogy there was a robot who was composed out of some kind of metal and he was able to change shape and squeeze through tight holes. Currently researchers are working on a soft bodied robot, which would be able to maneuver through openings smaller than its dimensions. Such robots could be used to a variety of missions, such as bomb disposal or other dangerous tasks. The robot which I read about is very small, about the size of a softball and is still being developed. It would be great to have robots replace doing dangerous tasks and I think that in the future even soldiers will be gradually replaced by machines.
