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 ...

In an effort to change this, a team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) came up with a surprisingly simple scheme: self-assembling robotic cubes that can climb ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have created autonomous robot cubes that can jump, spin, and assemble Minecraft-like structures on their own. One ...

Using M-blocks, MIT researchers have created a robotic technology that features cubes with no external moving parts, yet are fully capable of propelling themselves forward, jumping atop one another, ...
