Warning: they're also hard to kill. The post Strange Modular Robots Are Writhing Across Landscapes appeared first on Futurism.

The idea of a single robot that can transform into three different machines sounds like science fiction, but it is already sitting on workbenches and factory floors. In the prosumer corner of that ...

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 ...

LAS VEGAS — At CES 2026, the floor of the North Hall is crowded with specialized cleaning bots—vacuums for carpets, mops for hardwood, and heavy-duty scrubbers for tiles. However, Robotin has arrived ...

Igus says its new ReBelMove Pro modular robot has a high speed of 6.5 miles per hour and can carry up to 550 pounds.

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 ...

We met up with Fredrick Layton from Carnegie Mellon University and talked to him about their modular snake robot. We met up with Fredrick Layton from Carnegie Mellon University and talked to him about ...
