According to foreign media reports, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have developed hexagonal robot components (called modules) that can be assembled into high-speed robots like Lego and can be rearranged to achieve different functions.
Under the leadership of Christoph Keplinger, the MPI-IS Robotics Materials Division research team integrated artificial muscles into a hexagonal exoskeleton embedded with magnets to achieve rapid mechanical and electrical connections.
The related paper “Six-directional electrohydraulic modules for rapidly reconfigurable high-speed robots” was published in the journal “Science Robotics”.
