Researchers at Northwestern University have developed an AI-evolved, modular robot that can adapt to various environments and ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new class of modular robots called “legged ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined ...

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

Researchers at Dartmouth College have created modular robots that can assemble into structures and move through real-world terrain. Built from cube-shaped blocks, the robots combine rigid rods with ...

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

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a modular robotic system designed to operate outdoors and maintain ...

SWARM members Christina Berry (left) and Harrison Felipe work on their modular robots. The team is composed of electrical, ...

LAS VEGAS — At CES 2026, the floor of the North Hall is crowded with specialized cleaning bots—vacuums for carpets, mops for hardwood, and heavy-duty scrubbers for tiles. However, Robotin has arrived ...

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 ...

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 ...

If the goal of a robot is to perform a function, then minimizing the possibility of failure is a top priority when it comes to robotic design. But this minimization is at odds with the robotic raison ...
