The research group's publications suggest they 3D print a skeleton with embedded catalysts and release different reactants into the tank through the process to accrete a shell around the necessary electronics. http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/cronin/publications.php

The animation seems pure fantasy, some blobs move like flubber and then spontaneously look like a plane.

The BBC usually flags it's dodgier stories by using single quotes somewhere in the title e.g considers 'growing' drones in this case or http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36700571 ... 'second' gator.
