A Cornell-led team has developed modular robots that can perceive their surroundings, make decisions and autonomously assume different shapes in order to perform various tasks – an accomplishment that ...

A research team led by Cornell University has demonstrated a bunch of modular robots that move together as one, but break apart and reform as a different shape that's better suited to the assigned ...

As a senior at MIT in 2011, John Romanishin proposed a new approach to modular robotics that relied on magnets, flywheels, and the laws of physics. While his mentors and colleagues were skeptical his ...

A prototype for an interactive mobile device, called Cubimorph, which can change shape on-demand will be presented this week at one of the leading international forums for robotics researchers, ICRA ...
