SuperBot Locomotion

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 9 of April , 2008 at 5:50 am

I first wrote about SuperBot(s) over a year ago, and since I did, they’ve learned some new tricks. If you’re not familiar with these things, each SuperBot is itself made up of some number of relatively simple SuperBot modules working together. The modules are robots themselves, as each one has its own brain, motors, power source, and sensors, but the cool thing about SuperBots is their ability to work together. They’re able to autonomously attach to each other in an effectively infinite number of different ways, allowing them to adapt their structure (and consequent behavior) to virtually any situation. Take a look at a couple videos, and you’ll see how awesome these little guys are:
