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 ...

Researchers at Northwestern University say they have built modular robots that can keep moving even after being cut into smaller segments, according to a new preprint and institutional reports. Each ...

For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots smarter and more physically capable by mimicking biological intelligence and movement. “But in doing so, we’ve been just replicating the results of ...

It's now actually not that unusual to see quadruped robots that have powered wheels for feet, allowing them to either walk or roll as the situation dictates. The modular D1 is different, though, in ...

Robotic voxel-based construction uses modular blocks for efficient, sustainable building, reducing material use and carbon ...

MIT researchers have developed a robotic voxel-based assembly system that could reduce the embodied carbon of building construction by up to 82% compared to popular methods. The system uses modular ...
