Packing a full-sized robot for space travel could pose a bit of a challenge as rockets headed to the Moon, or maybe even Mars, might be a little cramped. The solution: a modular robot that can be ...

A shape-shifting robot swarm could make the trip to the Moon with future astronaut missions. The robot, which is called the Mori Modular Robot for Space, or Mori3, is a polygonal shape-shifting robot ...

The robot, for example, is tethered to wires, which supply it with power and send it basic commands. But he hopes that, one day, these petite machines could crawl independently into spaces where no ...

A person-shaped robot liquifies to escape a cage, then cools back into its original shape in a mold placed in the ground outside the bars. Wang and Pan et al. under CC BY-SA Researchers have created a ...

This shape-changing robot just got a lot smaller. In a new study, engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder debuted mCLARI, a 2-centimeter-long modular robot that can passively change its shape ...

Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

Coming to a tight spot near you: CLARI, the little, squishable robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps—with a bit of inspiration from the world of bugs. CLARI, which ...
