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 ...

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 ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new class of modular robots called “legged metamachines.” These machines possess built-in athletic intelligence that adapts on the go. The robots ...

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 ...

Yarbo showed the M Series as a CES prototype earlier this year. At IFA Berlin, it made its first offline public appearance as ...

DRm System Offers Flexible and Cost-Efficient Solutions for ADAS Testing Across Multiple Vehicle Types from Passenger Car up to Heavy Duty Trucks FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Humanetics, ...

Self-reconfigurable modular robotics systems comprise autonomous modules that can dock, undock and rearrange to form varied morphologies tailored to specific tasks and environments. Inspired by ...

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 ...
