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 ...

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

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

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

What if robots could not only think, but physically adapt in real time—reconfiguring their form, movement, and behavior to meet the demands of unpredictable environments? That ambition sits at the ...

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 ...

Wouldn’t it be great to have a robot that not only understands its surroundings but also makes decisions on the fly—all without needing to connect to the cloud. It sounds like something out of a ...

Northwestern University's self-configuring modular robots survive being chopped in half and adapt outdoors without retraining, signaling resilient future tech.
