It all starts with a curiosity; Cannibal robots or robots that grow by consuming parts of other machines.

The truth is that in this case it is not the media that has put clickbait or sensational headlines, this time those who have been imaginative are the authors of the robot, this is the press release from Columbia University "robots that grow by consuming other robots"

It sounds a little harsh, but the idea is actually good. Robots that get parts to be able to grow, the idea of ​​seeing a robot hunting another robot to consume its parts, well, it is still very, very far away, what they have actually devised is a process that allows machines to grow.

It allows machines to physically grow by integrating parts of their environment or other robots, proving to be a literal step towards self-sufficient robotic ecologies. The rhetoric of these researchers is quite curious. a little, some ago they made quite curious ecological and environmental metaphors.

In practice, it does not consume parts from other robots, the only thing they have managed to do is assemble elements that are joined together, modules that are assembled to be able to build or develop a larger structure that, okay. You can have versatile structures at any time, At any time you can get this robot with multiple pieces to create, for example, a tower for an antenna or a bridge or develop another structure that you need or create a kind of cabin for you to spend the night, for example,

Various structures joining various pieces that are all the same modules, the idea is good, but there is a long way to go to have a practical concept.
