An Andover startup, Reframe Systems, is trying to prove that building housing in pieces in a factory can be faster and ...

New research suggests constructing a simple building from interlocking subunits should be mechanically feasible and have a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at Dartmouth College have created modular robots that can assemble into structures and move through real-world terrain ...

MIT researchers have developed a robotic assembly system using interlocking modular 'voxels' that could reduce embodied carbon in construction by up to 82% compared with conventional methods. The ...

MIT researchers have developed a voxel-based construction system where robots assemble lightweight, interlocking blocks into full-scale structures. The approach aims to reduce material waste 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 ...
