[extropy-chat] Superbot

[Claus Bornich]

> Robots where each unit is self-sufficient, able to know where it is in the structure and adapt its function to its position. To walk, swim, climb, crawl, roll... with sensors to detect its internal state and external sensors to know its environment. Able to balance, split, join... look at some of these videos and then check out the edu website below for more about the project and more videos.
