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

Made up of autonomous, Lego-like modules, each component of the legged metamachines features its own circuit board, battery ...

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

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 ...

The step forward in robotics comes from the Université libre de Bruxelles. The development is with self-reconfiguring modular robots. The robots have the capability to merge, split and even self-heal.

As industries accelerate toward automation, conversations typically center on artificial intelligence, machine learning and the integration of robotics. However, one foundational concept is emerging ...

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 ...

A modular robotic furniture system composed of multiple units that can be flexibly combined. Based on expandability, transformability, and mobility, OnOBOT provides contextual and customized services ...

EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual units, it is significantly more resistant to failure than traditional ...
