Robots that refuse to fail: AI evolves 'legged metamachines' that reassemble and withstand injury
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 ...
Each unit has multiple points to which another unit can attach itself: 18 of them, to be precise, which means that just two ...
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 new class of robot labor is emerging whose value proposition may quickly transform how work gets done in many industries and environments.
A team of engineers at Northwestern University has built a new class of modular robots called “legged metamachines,” which ...
This platform aims to streamline the deployment and scaling of robotics solutions by integrating simulation, AI models, and ...
LAS VEGAS — At CES 2026, the floor of the North Hall is crowded with specialized cleaning bots—vacuums for carpets, mops for hardwood, and heavy-duty scrubbers for tiles. However, Robotin has arrived ...
We met up with Fredrick Layton from Carnegie Mellon University and talked to him about their modular snake robot. We met up with Fredrick Layton from Carnegie Mellon University and talked to him about ...
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 ...
