Researchers at Dartmouth College have created modular robots that can assemble into structures and move through real-world terrain. Built from cube-shaped blocks, the robots combine rigid rods with ...

It took nature millions of years to create intelligent, adaptive species. Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois are using AI to evolve robots in minutes. The result is a robot that is ...

The phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" is doubly true for SWARM, the WashU Robotics team on the cutting edge of modular robotics. The project’s 15 members are working to create ...

Cut most robots in half, and you’re left with expensive debris. Cut this one apart, and the pieces just keep walking. These impressive new robot concepts are what researchers from Northwestern ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined and recombined in the wild, recover from injury and keep moving no matter ...

March 5, 2026, XGSynBot a pioneer in embodied AI, hosted its 2026 product dual-city launch event themed "More Than One Answer" in both Silicon Valley and Beijing. The company officially debuted the Z1 ...

Four months after impressing us with its talented Oli humanoid robot, the three-year-old tech startup has just unveiled Tron 2, which, as its name cleverly suggests, is the follow-up to Tron 1. Going ...

In a move that inches us just a little closer to the singularity, engineers have developed robots that can grow, self-repair, and morph by absorbing parts from other robots. They can also help their ...

What is it about a cheetah's build that enables it to run so fast? What gives the wolf its exceptional endurance? While these questions can be partly answered through animal experiments, many ...

Carpet cleaners aren't new, but a robot vacuum that can wash and dry carpets is. I saw the first one at CES 2026, and as a bonus, it's even modular. Ajay has worked in tech journalism for over a ...
