“Liquid robot PB” is vague enough that it could mean a few different things, and none of the real technologies match that exact phrase. Let me break down the possibilities so you can tell me which one you meant:
What “liquid robot PB” might refer to
1. Liquid metal robots (like the viral “Terminator‑style” videos)
These are real research projects. Scientists have created:
- Gallium-based robots that can melt and re-solidify
- Tiny magnetically controlled liquid-metal machines
- Soft robots that flow like liquid but can reform into shapes
These are early-stage lab experiments, not consumer products or sci‑fi-level robots.
2. “PB” meaning “peanut butter” (TikTok/YouTube hoax videos)
There are viral clips claiming “liquid robot peanut butter” or “PB that moves on its own.”
Those are fake — usually:
- Stop‑motion animation
- Magnetic tricks
- Edited videos
No edible peanut butter robot exists.
3. “PB” meaning “programmable matter”
Some people use “PB” as shorthand for “programmable blob” or “programmable bot.”
This is a real research field, but nothing commercially available.

So is it real?
If you mean a liquid-metal robot: yes, the science is real but extremely limited.
If you mean peanut‑butter robots or viral “moving PB” videos: no, those are not real.
If you tell me where you saw it — TikTok, YouTube, an article — I can tell you exactly what it was.
