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 ...

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 ...

EPFL researchers have built a modular robot that becomes more reliable as it gains more modules, thanks to a system that shares power, sensors, and communication across all units. Robots designed for ...

The machines are built from autonomous modules that can be snapped together in a variety of forms ...

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 ...

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 ...
