Modular robots built by Dartmouth researchers are finding their feet outdoors. Engineered to assemble into structures that best suit the task at hand, the robots are pieced together from cube-shaped ...

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 ...

The future of robotics may not lie in the clunky androids we’ve been seeing so many of lately, but instead in strange, arachnoid conglomerations of sticks that writhe their way across landscapes.

Most robots have fixed body designs that cannot adapt to new environments or survive damage, making them fragile outside controlled settings. Researchers used AI-driven evolution and Lego-like modular ...

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 ...

Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West: both really great games, no? In entirely unrelated news, we were fascinated to read a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

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 ...

Called “legged metamachines,” the creations are made from autonomous, Lego-like modules that snap together into an endless number of configurations. Each module by itself is a complete robot with its ...
