Army robots made of robots? New LEGO-like method could make it happen
Todd South
Army scientists, along with university researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have created a LEGO-like structure to connect materials they hope could build robots made of robots.
And much like ants linking up to form temporary bridges, tiny future robots may do the same to help soldiers move across the battlespace.
The LEGO-like lattice system are an early advance into ways to make robots that can reconfigure on their own, according to an Army statement.
