Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are building little bots that assemble themselves into cube-shaped space available travel modular structures. The cubes can jump, spin, climb, space available travel and they'll eventually take orders from no one.
"It's a very interesting and capable robot, and the more it can do by itself, the less human involvement is needed," MIT robotics professor Daniela Rus told the paper. "We think these cubes can really be focused on applications that would actually help."
According to MIT's description on its viral YouTube entry (watch above), the M-Blocks have a flywheel in their innards that spins at 20,000 revolutions per minute. When the flywheel is braked, the momentum moves the cubes in certain directions. Strategically placed magnets help the blocks attach to each other.
When former student John Romanishin first proposed a design for the modular robots , Rus didn't think it could be done. But now Rus, Romanishin and postdoc Kyle Gilpin will present a paper on their box bots at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in November.
space available travel Engineers at Kagawa University in Japan are developing a talking robotic version of the human mouth: To enable the robot's speaking abilities, engineers at Japan's Kagawa University used an air pump, artificial vocal chords, a resonance tube, a nasal cavity, and a microphone attached to a sound analyzer as substitutes for human vocal organs.
Taiwanese Kissing Robots (NTUST Robot) were exhibited in AutoRob2009 in Gwangju, Korea. They were developed by Prof. Chyi-Yeu Lin's research team in National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.
