MIT Scientists Create Modular Robot Blocks That Can Self-Assemble & Reconfigure

M-Blocks are reconfigurable, modular robots with no external moving parts, built by research scientists at MIT. The cubes’ ability to move results from harnessing the momentum of an internal flywheel (which can hit speeds of 20,000 revolutions p/m) – allowing them to climb over one another, make jumps, spin and roll around, and do so without wheels or legs.
