Researchers have designed a robotic material that transforms like a living organism. Inspired by embryos, these disk-shaped ...

Now, a research team led by scientists from UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden has developed a material-like robot collective ...

“They have the ability to self-shape, self-heal and even control their material strength in space and time.” While at UCSB, ...

It has a flattened, disk-like body and can grow up to 10 feet long. This odd shape, combined with a lack of a tail fin, makes ...

Composed of individual, disk-shaped autonomous robots that look like small hockey pucks, the members of the collective are programmed to assemble themselves together into various forms with ...
