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

Owning a house and maintaining a yard all year round can feel like having a second job. Homeowners usually end up with a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This platform aims to streamline the deployment and scaling of robotics solutions by integrating simulation, AI models, and ...

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 ...

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 ...
