Robots that eat other robots meet the machines that can heal and evolve

Imagine a robot that can fix itself when broken or even grow stronger by absorbing parts from its surroundings—or from other robots. That future is closer than you think. Scientists at Columbia University have created a new kind of robot that doesn’t just think on its own—it can physically grow, adapt, and heal itself. In […] The post Robots that eat other robots meet the machines that can heal and evolve appeared first on Knowridge Science Repo…

Robots That Eat Robots: Columbia's Cannibalistic Breakthrough

We have entered the era where robots eat other robots to fix itself. Columbia University calls it "metabolism." I call it the beginning of machine evolution.Philippe Martin Wyder's team at Columbia Engineering just shattered the boundary between biology and robotics. Their Truss Links, expandable robotic bars with magnetic connectors, don't just connect. They consume. Starting with six independent units, researchers watched them self-assemble in…
