Is an army of Terminator II style “liquid” androids -- ones that can self-assemble, self-repair and transform -- finally possible? An American team took to Tokyo last week and proved that they have ...

What if robots could reassemble themselves at will? The liquid metal cyborg in Terminator was terrifyingly useful. It could look like anyone, repair shotgun blasts, even turn its hand into a murderous ...

Almost exactly six years ago, we reported on the first iteration of the self-assembling cube robots called M-Blocks. Since then, they've become exponentially more radical. Here in October of 2019, the ...

This week the former MIT student known as John Romanishin revealed a plan – and working demo units – of a modular self-assembling robot pods. These little beasts may seem the thing of nightmares when ...

The M-Blocks, created by John Romanishin at MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, are self-assembling robots that move themselves around like magnetic Mexican jumping beans.

A robot that moves autonomously and changes its shape is one of the things many people dream of that often appear in fiction. Researchers at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ...

Imagine if an army of completely flat-faced cubes could roll around and even jump on their own, joining with one another to form a variety of large-scale structures. Well, that's exactly what a team ...

While robots have been making our lives easier and our assembly lines more efficient for over half a century now, we haven’t quite cracked a Jetsons-like general purpose robot yet. Sure, Boston ...

Picture this: self-assembling blocks that, when given a task, have the ability to reorganize themselves into new geometries. Till now, robots have depended on arms or attachments to move themselves.
