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

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new class of modular robots called “legged ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined ...

Researchers at Dartmouth College have created modular robots that can assemble into structures and move through real-world terrain. Built from cube-shaped blocks, the robots combine rigid rods with ...

SWARM members Christina Berry (left) and Harrison Felipe work on their modular robots. The team is composed of electrical, ...

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

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a modular robotic system designed to operate outdoors and maintain ...

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 ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have created a new kind of robot that can adapt, recover from damage, and keep moving even after being broken apart. The machines, called “legged metamachines,” ...

If the goal of a robot is to perform a function, then minimizing the possibility of failure is a top priority when it comes to robotic design. But this minimization is at odds with the robotic raison ...
