In a move that inches us just a little closer to the singularity, engineers have developed robots that can grow, self-repair, and morph by absorbing parts from other robots. They can also help their ...

The phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" is doubly true for SWARM, the WashU Robotics team on the cutting edge of modular robotics. The project’s 15 members are working to create ...

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

A team of engineers at Northwestern University has built a new class of modular robots called “legged metamachines,” which ...

One robot replacing a whole fleet of specialized machines? LimX Dynamics’ Tron 2 makes that science fiction dream a nearer reality. Starting at $7,000, this multi-form embodied platform melds modular ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Robotin R2 Pro introduces a new category of modular home‑cleaning robots. Defines the emerging "modular home cleaner" market segment Reduces physical strain and cleaning time Supports healthier ...
