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

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 ...

Owning a house and maintaining a yard all year round can feel like having a second job. Homeowners usually end up with a ...

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 and recombined in the wild, recover from injury and keep moving no matter ...

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 ...

Chore Robotics unveils autonomous modular base robot design with swappable attachments; GPS-agnostic navigation for year-round chores. IRVINE, CA, UNITED STATES ...

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 ...

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 ...

Explore how vision-language-action models like Helix, GR00T N1, and RT-1 are enabling robots to understand instructions and act autonomously.
