As the world moves from the human-dependent workforce to robotic hands, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a unique robot that can self-assemble and build “almost anything.” The robots can help in constructing buildings, building vehicles, and even grow into bigger robots.
The team is aiming to design robots that can economically assemble almost anything including things much larger than themselves, from vehicles to buildings to larger robots. The work has been led by the Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) at MIT, which has been in research for years on the unique technology.
