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

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

A team of engineers at Northwestern University has built a new class of modular robots called “legged metamachines,” which can reportedly adapt on the go. Made up of autonomous, Lego-like modules, ...

Modular robots built by Dartmouth researchers are finding their feet outdoors. Engineered to assemble into structures that best suit the task at hand, the robots are pieced together from cube-shaped ...

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 ...
