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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Adelaide will soon be home to a team of robots capable of building six houses a day, as a launch date nears for the country’s most advanced automated housing manufacturer.

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 ...
