    SuperBot Robot Can Construct Itself

    This robot, named the SuperBot, can do some pretty super, and unique things. The SuperBot has the ability to build itself, in a way. It can be constructed into a variety of different figures to accomplish different tasks, for example as a walking unit, rolling unit, snake unit, etc. Each individual block is a robot that interacts and works together with the other robots. This project is the work of Wi-Min Shen's of USC for NASA. Jump to see a video of a group of "SuperBots" able to find and attach to another group.
