Imagine if an army of completely flat-faced cubes could roll around and even jump on their own, joining with one another to form a variety of large-scale structures. Well, that's exactly what a team ...

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 ...

Out of all the cool-looking forms that robots can take – humanoid, dogs, fish, crocodiles, snakes, birds, or disembodied arms – a cube seems like a pretty boring choice. But MIT’s new take on the ...

They're called M-Blocks and the tiny, cubical robots that can spin, flip and jump their way into new configurations are the brainchild of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

MIT has announced the development of self-assembling robotic cubes. The cubes can climb over and around each other, jump in the air, and roll across the ground. The robots are now able to communicate ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled small, cube-shaped robots that can flip, jump, stack and assemble themselves into larger shapes with no exterior moving parts. The ...

As a senior at MIT in 2011, John Romanishin proposed a new approach to modular robotics that relied on magnets, flywheels, and the laws of physics. While his mentors and colleagues were skeptical his ...
