I think this design is well suited to hazardous environments where exposed moving parts are a liability. They can easily be made water and air-tight. Unlike other designs for extreme environments, the cost of replacing a few of these cubes would be orders of magnitude less than robots using other forms of locomotion. You could use them as inexpensive remote sensory platforms. For example, travelling up skyscrapers to help enforce emf pollution standards. They could be equipped with an inductive charging system. Their size and shape makes them impact resistant, being self-contained makes them environmentally protected, and instantaneous power consumption means you can leave them powered off most of the time. I don't think these would ever be useful with internal AI, but I think a command program installed on a laptop would be a great way to coordinate them. The coolest part is that everything expensive can be in a safe place, and you can send these cheap little units into very dangerous places and not worry too much about losing them. And if you really wanted to, you could recharge them from a distance and try retrieving them a few weeks later.

These modular robots are based on two things, gyro-motor and magnets, Gyro-motor is a poor stability or vectoring motor (due to the air resistance and other factors which makes us unable to predict final position and orientation). If we can orient it better, like relatively using fields around it. Utilizing the fields may help us to overcome the excess of sensors

I don’t really know how this type of tech works, but I do know a thing or 2 and had a suggestion. This probably wont work, but just something: I see that you used magnets in the cubes. What if rather than using the spinning mass in the middle as the main source of movement, you use magnets to guide them. You use an electrical charge to ‘turn on’ the magnets on the desired cubes. Like I said, I have no idea how this works, but it would be really interesting to test the idea.

Perhaps you could incorporate some sort of power transfer between the cubes, so if one runs out of power, it can recharge from the others. Initially I was thinking wireless charging through induction coils, but with all those powerful magnets I'm not sure it'll work. Also, if one cube finds a power source, it can daisychain power to all the attached cubes. What do you think? There are many options, I have lots of ideas.

A good first step to self assemblies that could come together as a single entity perform a task none could do without the others then disassembly. The Second iteration the power could be distributed across all the block to lift more for example.

Why Won't this fucking Rubik's Cube stay still?

The cubes need a type of hive mind AI to be autonomous. These would be practical only if the user would only need to give them a simple instruction, such as "form a pyramid 12 inches high with a 16 inch x 16 inch base". The cubes would have to recognize their individual positions relative to each other, collectively recognize the end configuration, recognize each cube's position in the end configuration, prioritize each cube's movements, etc. A more advanced AI would be able to quickly re-prioritize in changing environmental conditions such as building the pyramid on the deck of a rocking ship. Another advancement for these cubes could be if they could manipulate outside objects. Example: the cubes are in a room with a floor that is 40 feet wide by 40 feet long with a ball. At the end of the room is a cup that is 4 inches tall and just wide enough to hold the ball. The command to give the cubes would be: "put the ball in the cup." The cubes would need to be able to identify the ball and its properties (its round, it rolls, its size, how heavy it is, etc), and the location and size of the cup. For simplicity's sake, the properties of the ball, the location and properties of the cup could be pre-identified. The cubes would have to have some sort of sensory system, such as pressure sensors to identify where the ball is and calculate where it needs to go. Of course, these achievements would take multiple steps and several iterations of modification and it wouldn't be a simple task. To get the ball from one end of the room to the other would necessitate the cubes' ability to become mobile as a unit. More challenges to give them would be: 1. As a group, climb a flight of stairs. 2. As a group, climb onto a table.

High cost due to all electronics in cubes, per cube 2. Misses a feedback, how can I cube know where it is and where to move 3. Takes a lot of time to form 4. Batteries will die fast from all the spinning, and charging each single cube alone is a struggle 5. Mistakes can happen during reformation 6. Can't be built in nano size due to a lot of restrictions, and if done, think about the huge cost of having a million nano cubes to do some formation 7. Those are just a bunch of cubes with motors, what tasks can this do other than teaching 7yo kids about electronics? 8. Getting different robots for tasks is still cheaper, more accurate, solid and better 9. Do these even have a memory? good luck programming a robot task to cubes and using distributed computing and multi tasking to make them work together, sounds impossible, and even if done, the software alone will cost sht load of money and will be impractical 10. What tasks are you gonna do? I see no sensors, no actuators, no nothing! If we want to attach sensors to these they will lose ability to reform, and a lot of sensors cant be built in cubes due to: a. no space in cubes b. some sensors need to be outside to sense c. reformation will become limited as specific sensor cubes need to always be in specific places Only practical use I can think of is a kids toy to teach them about electronics, but it will still be very overpriced in comparison of amount of knowledge it provides, so I'd give this 1/10 just for the effort

Replicators! What could go wrong?

Immediately thought the same thing. Save us Sam Carter!

reminds me of the movie transformers when they assemble together

This is one way how I live my life as an Artist!!😄 and as robust as possible!

... The day when we can finally say "Friday, give me some juice." and the suit reconfigures itself into a giant thruster!

I've seen this Doctor Who episode already.

Next project is...how to make a terminator.

There can be shelves and drawers that assemble themselves or rearrange themselves if they can build and program such machines. The MIT team could make it easier for themselves if their drawers, tool-boxes, and cases assisted them if their machines can accomplish such feats shown in the video. Of course there is a time and place for such things later on.

why am i just now seeing this. the inertial assembly is genius

so, this is Minecraft 3?

I am talking about fucking square cubes like the ones in the video, not liquid blocks.

Zetsuke4 use red stones and they will move!

Forget transformers, - this is how replicator originated.

It would be cool if the robot can use electromagnetic coils to turn some of the permanent magnet off (generate a field that cancels that of the magnets) in addition to having flywheels

in order to make this into nanobot shapeshifter stuff, you need a huge amount of communication and tech sharing from the following areas: Dudes that make actuator motor things, AI dudes, dudes who make machines that build smaller machines, dudes who can optimize smaller machines that build machines and combine them into cube bots, magnetism dudes who can calculate magnetic relationships on large scale means while determining how magnetic the nodes need to be in order to not screw up the other bots, Nikola Tesla crazy dudes who find a better means of controllable on/off adhesive outside of magnetism, military scientist dudes who find a means to lock these forms together to keep them functional in case of an EMP attack, and thinking ahead element compounder dudes who find a way to make a non-toxic metal that meshes well with bio-organic materials in case we can use this for prosthesis or bodily upgrades and finally loooooots of funding. Potentially, in the future, you could use these little guys for something, ranging from medical tech to full body robots, to transformable prosthesis, to FULL BODY prosthesis, to starting a robot apocalypse, to space exploration, to Dyson Sphere esque shit, to terraforming, to object building molecule by molecule, to object deconstruction, to horrifying weapon due to prior thing ala dynamite but you can't get rid of it because it's really really useful, to loads of other stuff that I can't comprehend at the moment. Right now we have silly little cubes. But this is the base work for potential future technologies that could revolutionize humanity's humanity. Great things come from humble and silly origins. We were once little amoeba eating ocean soup, and so we see mechanical amoeba here.

Only thing that comes to my mind looking at this is self assembling Iron Man armour.

why not use this to make a self solving rubix cube

Imagine attaching a camera module to it and making it climb up a metal building. Seems like something from a Bond movie.

fantastic invention this could be a revolution
