Is an army of Terminator II style “liquid” androids -- ones that can self-assemble, self-repair and transform -- finally possible? An American team took to Tokyo last week and proved that they have ...

Almost exactly six years ago, we reported on the first iteration of the self-assembling cube robots called M-Blocks. Since then, they've become exponentially more radical. Here in October of 2019, the ...

What if robots could reassemble themselves at will? The liquid metal cyborg in Terminator was terrifyingly useful. It could look like anyone, repair shotgun blasts, even turn its hand into a murderous ...

An individual "M-Block" robot is simple and not very useful, but if you bring the fleet together, they can link up to form new shapes and structures. The M-Blocks were designed at MIT’s Computer ...

The M-Blocks, created by John Romanishin at MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, are self-assembling robots that move themselves around like magnetic Mexican jumping beans.

Picture this: self-assembling blocks that, when given a task, have the ability to reorganize themselves into new geometries. Till now, robots have depended on arms or attachments to move themselves.

A robot that moves autonomously and changes its shape is one of the things many people dream of that often appear in fiction. Researchers at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ...
