A mobile motor created by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could change the way we view and build #robots. The #robot consists of five tiny fundamental parts that have the ability to assemble and disassemble into different functional devices — with the end goal of having it build other, larger #robots. MIT Professor Neil Gershenfeld, who was a part of this groundbreaking project, said that he based the concept of how all forms of life are made up of 20 amino acids.“It’s a fundamentally different way in how you build #robotics systems,” Gershenfeld told #Digital Trends. It’s groundbreaking in the sense that the new system is a step closer to creating a standardized set of parts that could be used to both assemble other robots and to adapt to a specific set of tasks.
