It's not like a regular bot, it's a swarm of bots.
The researchers believe that Mori3 can one day assist astronauts on colonies on the Moon, and perhaps on Mars in the farther future. “Our aim with Mori3 is to create a modular, origami-like robot that can be assembled and disassembled at will depending on the environment and task at hand,” Jamie Paik, director of the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab, said in aOn its own, each piece doesn’t look like much, but when connected together, the triangle pieces operate as a swarm.
“We had to rethink the way we understand robotics,” Christoph Belke, a post-doctoral researcher in robotics, said in the statement. “We have shown that polygon meshing is a viable robotic strategy.”Mori3 in action looks a bit like a robotic spider or a zombie dog. Once it’s resurrected in its intended form, it can move around, handle and transport objects, as well as interact with its users.
“Polygonal and polymorphic robots that connect to one another to create articulated structures can be used effectively for a variety of applications,” Jamie Paik, director of the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab, said in the statement. “Of course, a general-purpose robot like Mori3 will be less effective than specialized robots in certain areas.”For more spaceflight in your life, follow us on
