Almost exactly six years ago, we reported on the first iteration of the self-assembling cube robots called M-Blocks. Since then, they've become exponentially more radical. Here in October of 2019, the ...
Out of all the cool-looking forms that robots can take – humanoid, dogs, fish, crocodiles, snakes, birds, or disembodied arms – a cube seems like a pretty boring choice. But MIT’s new take on the ...
What if robots could reassemble themselves at will? The liquid metal cyborg in Terminator was terrifyingly useful. It could look like anyone, repair shotgun blasts, even turn its hand into a murderous ...
Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have created autonomous robot cubes that can jump, spin, and assemble Minecraft-like structures on their own. One ...
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled small, cube-shaped robots that can flip, jump, stack and assemble themselves into larger shapes with no exterior moving parts. The ...

As a senior at MIT in 2011, John Romanishin proposed a new approach to modular robotics that relied on magnets, flywheels, and the laws of physics. While his mentors and colleagues were skeptical his ...
