Meet the “ETH Zurich IDSC” created by engineers at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. The contraptions can come together and make love, drive, fly, and um lose control. A nifty creation.
For those of you counting down to the robot uprising, you may be interested in the latest news from engineers at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. They’ve created autonomous robots that randomly dock with each other on the ground and then rise into the air- no human intervention required.
The little hexagonal modules that make up the flying drone are completely self-sufficient. In the context of a robot army, that means the airborne robot could be indestructible. Because the magnetically connected ‘bots easily break away from each other, they could blow apart under attack, and then reassemble themselves on the ground, good as new.
