Robots being made by humans in the world are replacing them only. Recently, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have developed a robot that is capable of assembling its own parts. It can build buildings and vehicles and transform itself into a large robot.

The aim is to make bigger things from robots
MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) says that the robot is made only because it can develop things bigger than itself. Scientists told that this robot can work for assembling a wing of an airplane or small parts of a racing car. This research has been published in the journal Nature.

This robot is made up of identical small subunits.

This is how robot works
This robot is made by adding several voxels. A series of identical small subunits is called a voxel. According to the researchers, these voxels contain power and data. They also transfer it to other voxels. There is no wire or cable in them. They themselves connect with each other to make a robot equal to or bigger than themselves.

Robot is in development stage
Currently this robot is in the development stage. Its system can make other robots or small structures. Gradually it will be made more intelligent, so that it will be able to build not only big structures but anything in the world. Scientists involved in the research say that with this invention, structures like buildings and expensive cars can be made at a low cost. The team has been working on this unique technology for many years.
