Researchers at Northwestern University have developed 'metamachines'—modular robots whose independent leg-like units allow them to keep moving even after losing large sections. Inspired by animal ...

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 ...

Most people think of the waterfront as the edge of the city. A team of MIT researchers sees it as a dynamic, Lego-like ...

Called “legged metamachines,” the creations are made from autonomous, Lego-like modules that snap together into an endless number of configurations. Each module by itself is a complete robot with its ...

Researchers in the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science have developed an open-source software framework designed to make it easier to deploy AI systems across different robots ...

Self-reconfigurable modular robotics systems comprise autonomous modules that can dock, undock and rearrange to form varied morphologies tailored to specific tasks and environments. Inspired by ...

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 ...
