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 ...

Modularity is taking off in more ways than one in space exploration. The design of the upcoming "Lunar Gateway" space station is supposed to be modular, with different modules being supplied by ...

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 ...

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

Quicktron will demonstrate at MODEX 2026 in Atlanta how its unified tote and pallet robotics and software technologies ...

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 ...

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 ...

Robotic 3D printing collaboration combines crane expertise with additive manufacturing to automate affordable, sustainable construction projects.
