The shape-shifting robot is the brainchild of a group of engineers at a lab in Connecticut .
It's one of many new “soft” robots that researchers have been conjuring up as they think of new ways to tackle old problems.
The robot’s ability to amputate its own limbs is thanks to specially formulated joints.
These joints are made of a substance that holds them together with a rubbery consistency.
However, when heat is applied to the joints, they become more liquid-like, allowing the limb to break off completely.
