Spy robot self-destructs after gathering intel

Researchers have developed a soft robot that can collect intelligence and then melt into an oily puddle when exposed to UV light and heat. The robot is made of a silicone composite that degrades quickly, making it easy to dispose of. It can detect temperature changes and alert researchers, and it utilizes photodetectors to sense light from a UV lamp. The robot was tested in a simulated mission where it scouted an unknown environment and then destroyed itself.
