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 ...

Unlike humanoid robots designed around a fixed form — think Boston Dynamics — Theker's machines are built to be reconfigured.

LimX Dynamics is doing some fascinating work in the robotics arena. Four months after impressing us with its talented Oli humanoid robot, the three-year-old tech startup has just unveiled Tron 2, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West: both really great games, no? In entirely unrelated news, we were fascinated to read a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

The future of robotics may not lie in the clunky androids we’ve been seeing so many of lately, but instead in strange, arachnoid conglomerations of sticks that writhe their way across landscapes.
