If you think the liquid android in Terminator 2-the one that reassembled itself after being smashed into tiny droplets-is centuries off, think again. Robots built from small, intelligent, ...

Arduino enthusiasts and makers with access to a 3D printer might be interested in a new open-source self-reconfigurable modular robot that has been created and powered by an Arduino Nano development ...

Modular reconfigurable robots are touted for their flexibility, as their bodies can assume a wide range of shapes. A particular challenge is to make them move efficiently in 3D without compromising ...

iMobot modular robots, developed by researchers at UC Davis, are small modules that link together like a chain to form larger robotic modules. The modules have two joints at the center which can ...

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 ...

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has created a new robot that has six legs, looks creepily like a spider when it walks, and is dubbed "Snake Monster". Not exactly endearing traits, but the Snake ...

We investigate how reliable movement can emerge in aggregates of highly error-prone individuals. The individuals - robotic modules - reside in a planar environment and move stochastically using ...

Cornell and Pennsylvania Universities develop modular robot system that can perceive its surroundings and autonomously assume different shapes suited to the task it has been given No matter how useful ...

[Erik] Sent in this modular robot video. It’s not as mentally disturbing as the snake robots we featured before, but it’s still pretty cool. It looks like it’s using M-TRAN modules. Details are ...
