Researchers share footage of AI-designed robots that can survive extreme conditions

If you've ever witnessed a confused Waymo or an overturned food delivery robot, you can understand how fragile robotic technology is. But researchers at Northwestern University are innovating the robotics field with the first modular robots with "athletic intelligence." These "legged metamachines" are made from autonomous, Lego-like modules that are powered by independent motors and connect together into countless configurations. When these modu…
