Roombots are modular robots made by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) that can self-assemble to make, move and enhance furniture.

Incredibly impractical
Nice, but I wish you had shown us how those modules are controlled.
Are all those shapes prerecorded, then “played” back to assemble something? How easy (or not) it is to create a new shape that I want?
So freaking cool
Lame and useless, FAIL!
Battery is the limiting factor.
Hey Google, make me a chair…
When that sort of thing is supported, I’ll be all over these (or this sort of tech)!
Until then, I guess we’re stuck with IKEA…
🤷♂️
50 years ago America went from no flight experience to putting a man on the Moon in less than 10-years
and you speak of decades in order to produce these robots
How can I get a search about this project sir?
I’m excited
It’s like those blocks from the movie shorts
Robots will make human more lazy..take ur own chair
Hard chair.… Watch out ur bum
Megaman Legends stuff ?
Seems nifty.
That can Turn up…lol ✨🥂✨
I would pull out a chair with the bots when someone is about to sit on it
if spheros could stick together
Oh great, this is the beginning of the Replicators from Stargate SG1 xD because we as a human race can not help but seek out our own destruction 🤣🤣🤣
1:10 modular RBG pcs.
you all in the comment section are idiots
What I would do? A flexible factory to make anything, process anything. You can start small and add elements to it as you go, and end up building entire homes by running a coordinated operation.
Am glad my brother Joseph michael invented this.…some people just steal idea…look up fractal robot and European inventor of the year …which he won for Britain… With graphics provided by yours truly..
Yes but can they Iron clothes????
Nanomachines so… well not yet
Baymax little robots
Wow
Big hero 6, remember))))
Nobody is reminded of big hero 6 ???
These robots controlled by a kinect, like one with the Xbox (which sucked, and was discontinued because of that), if they release these in the US, they should make an app for it.
Edit: these robots remind me of ants, some species of ant can join themselves together to make rafts and bridges.
The main use of these will obviously be in space where mass matter and thus a multipurpose robot is incredibly economical. Using them in a house is just beyond silly.
