(Video) Incredible SuperBot Modular Robotic System

Posted February 22, 2007 9:25 AM

From TechEBlog:

This incredible modular robotic system consists of several smaller robots that autonomously interlink, depending on the task at hand. Check out a demo after the jump. Each bot consists of two cubes connected by a hinge, with an onboard power supply, servos, sensors, a microcomputer, and six connecting faces to attach to other bots. When connected, all of the bot modules coordinate their movements depending on how many modules there are, how they're connected, and where they need to go.

It looks interesting, but the link stinks: The video stops short of the modules linking up, and the "module" link in the very short text article takes you to completely unrelated "PC modules".
