Modular design is rapidly becoming the key to cost-effective automation, especially in sectors where demand variability and ...

In a move that inches us just a little closer to the singularity, engineers have developed robots that can grow, self-repair, ...

Currently, modular robotics hasn’t progressed as far enough to produce useful useful robots like Baxter. But there is a lot of serious work being done in labs within academia and elsewhere to ...

Traditional robot bodies "are still monolithic, unadaptive, and unrecyclable," said paper author and mechanical engineer Hod ...

Can robots become self-sustaining by consuming other objects? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes ...

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their ...

As per the study, these robots could “absorb and reuse parts,” not from a factory, but from their environment or even from other robots.

Modular Robotics, the company behind the Cubelets platform for making rudimentary bots, today introduces Moss, a robot construction kit that requires no special skills to use.

"Modular robots in general are just fascinating systems, because you're not restricted by one shape, so there's a lot of flexibility," said project lead Hadas Kress-Gazit.

The new Kickstarter-funded, snap-together bots from Modular Robotics look like a swell toy. They’re also the best real-world example to date that an entire class of ultra-durable and adaptive ...

ZURI is a modular robotic system. It is based on two leg variants (2DOF / 3DOF) and two different body modules (1M / 2M). The combination of leg and body modules allows for a lot of robot variations.
