Each unit has multiple points to which another unit can attach itself: 18 of them, to be precise, which means that just two units can be combined in 435 ways. The number of possible configurations ...

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

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 team has developed a class of machines called “legged metamachines”, built from self-contained robotic modules that can combine into multiple configurations and continue functioning despite the ...

As technology continues to advance, scientists and engineers are constantly searching for more efficient and effective ways to create new materials and devices. One increasingly popular method is self ...
