When robots become cool 3d printed gadgets

Robots are usually designed for one very specific task. This is fine, as long as you’re ok getting a new robot every time you want something different. Making generalist robots is hard. But what’s less hard is enabling it to adapt to different kinds of specialists, which we humans do all the time when we use tools. 

MIT Media Lab has taken inspiration from the hermit crab. They designed a robot that’s able to effortlessly transition from a generalist to highly specialized and vice versa. The robot transitions with the help of custom-made mechanical shells. These shells can uniquely extend and convert the motion of robots with embedded mechanisms. As a result, the hermit crab robot can offer a variety of interactive functionality by self-reconfiguration.

The general approach of this robot is how physical interfaces and computers in our daily life can adapt and reconfigure for user interactions with passive attachments. 

We are in an age where robotic systems are emerging in our living space. It’s no longer just humans we will be able to work with. These 3D printed robots are creating a system of their own as they live among us.
