MIT robo blocks can reconfigure themselves

By Louie Baur1 min readGoogle News

As robots go, there are definitely some that are more complex looking than others. Not everything has to look like a Michael Bay creation to be potentially useful as an MIT project recently demonstrated.

Looking at these reconfiguring robo-cubes, created by research scientists at MIT in the face of ongoing naysaying, it strikes me that the human race can’t be far off a huge achievement: building a physical version of Tetris that self assembles. From angular chaos, to robot-enabled order. That and giving future Dalek armies the ability to bound up stairs.
