Each unit has multiple points to which another unit can attach itself: 18 of them, to be precise, which means that just two ...

A team of engineers at Northwestern University has built a new class of modular robots called “legged metamachines,” which ...

Modular self-reconfigurable robotics encompasses systems in which individual robotic units can autonomously adjust their configuration to adapt to varying tasks and environmental conditions. These ...

AI-designed metamachines run in the wild, recover from damage and transform into new shapes, according to recent studies. These new modular legged robots are said possess athletic intelligence and ...

In a move that inches us just a little closer to the singularity, engineers have developed robots that can grow, self-repair, and morph by absorbing parts from other robots. They can also help their ...
