Life Now Obsolete
CHL scientists at Cornell University have created small robots that can build copies of themselves.
Each robot consists of several 10-cm cubes which have identical machinery, electromagnets to attach and detach to each other and a computer program for replication. The robots can bend and pick up and stack the cubes. "Although the machines we have created are still simple compared with biological self-reproduction, they demonstrate that mechanical self-reproduction is possible and not unique to biology," Hod Lipson said before engaging in maniacal laughter.
He and his team believe the design principle could be used to make long term, self-repairing robots that could take over the world.
