EPFL researchers have built a modular robot that becomes more reliable as it gains more modules, thanks to a system that shares power, sensors, and communication across all units. Robots designed for ...

Their result is the “legged metamachine,” a rugged modular robot that looks strange and moves even more strangely. Yet the researchers say it can literally be cut in half and still function. The robot ...

Most robots have fixed body designs that cannot adapt to new environments or survive damage, making them fragile outside controlled settings. Researchers used AI-driven evolution and Lego-like modular ...
