Researchers at Northwestern University say they have built modular robots that can keep moving even after being cut into smaller segments, according to a new preprint and institutional reports. Each ...

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 ...

Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West: both really great games, no? In entirely unrelated news, we were fascinated to read a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

The future of robotics may not lie in the clunky androids we’ve been seeing so many of lately, but instead in strange, arachnoid conglomerations of sticks that writhe their way across landscapes.

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 ...

When robots are made out of modular units, their size, shape, and functionality can be modified to perform any number of tasks. At the microscale, modular robots could enable applications like ...

ABB Robotics has expanded its modular large robot portfolio with the introduction of the new IRB 7710 and IRB 7720. The new robots, combined with recently launched IRB 5710-IRB 5720 and IRB 6710-IRB ...
