Bees, ants, and termites build complex structures without blueprints, architects, or construction supervisors. Their ...

Bees, ants and termites don't need blueprints. They may have queens, but none of these species breed architects or ...

Imagine thousands of tiny robots forming whatever three-dimensional structure you want ... with an algorithm that allows them to assemble in parallel, then they can shape up faster.

104, No. 4, 2021 A hierarchical approach for rigid-body d... Considering the real-time control of a high-speed parallel robot, a concise and precise dynamics model is essential for the design of the ...

The work aims to bridge the gap between high-level reasoning and low-level motor control, allowing robots to learn complex tasks rapidly using massively parallel simulations that run through ...

The basic idea of the self-building structure is in a clever synergy between the building material — cuboctahedral frames they call voxels — and the two types of robots that assemble them.
