- Using this kind of technique, I think robot builders may be able to come up with more creative designs for their robots, without having to worry as much about programming how it walks. Very cool.

- A new type of robot senses damage and adjusts to it.

The robot senses a change in its structure and begins walking in a different way to compensate.

- It looks like a four-armed starfish, but so far it's unaware of its own shape. After flailing its arms for a while, however, the robot gets a sense of its design and begins to walk. The real feat comes when engineers remove a part of its leg: The robot senses a change in its structure and begins walking in a different way to compensate. The demonstration is the first proof that a robot can generate a conception of itself and then adapt to damage, a handy skill to have in unpredictable environments.

- These things are getting smarter and smarter. Pretty soon they'll take over the factories so they can reproduce at will.
