	<description>Spatial Robots features and critiques control technologies, interfaces and robotics as they pertain to the future of interactive architecture and space. Created by Miles Kemp in 2007, this website showcases architecture, space, interfaces, new media, websites, robotics, nanotechnology, reconfigurable objects, behavioral logic, new materials, and emerging technologies with emphasis placed on projects being interactive and spatial.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Multi-wheel statically-stable mobile robots tall enough to interact meaningfully with people must have low centers of gravity, wide bases of support, and low accelerations to avoid tipping over. Ralph Hollis is currently pioneering new types of robots that can rotate on a single point. More information can be found here.

An interesting video from the Ben Gurion University Deparment of Mechanical Engineering Robotics Lab. It shows an &#8220;underconstrained cable suspended robot capable of maneuvering from one stance space to another by clinging to new contact points.&#8221; The robot actually shoots &#8220;webs&#8221; like Spiderman that adhere to surfaces and allow the robot to move around while [...]]]></description>

Nano Meta-morphic Architecture consists of a palette of small-scale self-similar robotic modules that have the ability to dynamically move and attach to other modules to create different configurations in real-time. Each module has a different material on its exterior, various hardware (sensors, accelerometers, computation and kinetics) and computational logic to enable it to interpret and [...]]]></description>

Modular robotic system that can be swallowed and will assemble inside the G.I. Tract for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. This research involves the investigation of the self-assembly of the ARES robot inside the stomach. Using a specific magnet configuration on the connection face, assembly success rates of up to 90% are possible.
