Strange Modular Robots Are Writhing Across Landscapes
The future of robotics may not lie in the clunky androids we’ve been seeing so many of lately, but instead in strange, arachnoid conglomerations of sticks that writhe their way across landscapes. These so-called “metamachines” kind of look like if you made giant caltrops out of Magnetix and then zapped them with the gift of movement. They might sound cute, except that their creators say that their AI algorithm-inspired designs lets them keep per…
Patent Reveals Universal's Plans to Create a Walking Animatronic System
A recently published patent application details Universal’s plan for creating an animatronic figure that can appear to walk. Animatronic Patent The patent application (US-20260084074-A1) is called “Animated Figure Walking Mechanism,” and it shows and describes how Universal would create a two-legged animatronic character that can appear to walk. Pictured above, the system involves a carrier with a limb and a motor. Plus, there is a second limb, …
Spider like AI robot amazes scientists
It may look like a spider and its movement seems unusual but it’s actually a robot. Scientists at Northwestern University in the U.S. have created this remarkable robot using artificial intelligence (AI) to design both its structure and walking strategy. • Beyond traditional robots Most robots today move on wheels or imitate human walking. They can run jump or even fall but if a leg breaks or an unexpected situation occurs they often struggle to…
Scientists from Northwestern University have presented an innovative development: modular robots designed using artificial intelligence algorithms. The results of the study were published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. These devices maintain mobility in difficult terrain, even after losing individual components or limbs. This technology marks an important step toward creating highly adaptive systems ca…
bigstock The development of robots capable of adapting to unpredictable environments and continuing to operate even after suffering physical damage no longer belongs to the field of science fiction. A team of researchers from Northwestern University recently introduced a new generation of modular robots powered by artificial intelligence that can reorganize their movement to stay active in complex conditions, even when part of their structure ce…
