Cubelets Small Robots Teach Big Science Lessons

The video introduces Cue Blitz, small modular robots categorized by their ability to sense, think, and act. Designed by Eric Schweikhart's team, these robots are inspired by natural systems like insect swarms. Cubelets, a type of these robots, are complex systems made of simple cubes that perform basic functions. When combined, they achieve more complex tasks. The goal is to engage kids in computational thinking and problem-solving. Cubelets are manufactured in Boulder, CO, and tested in museums and schools to inspire future scientists and engineers.

What inspiration did the design of cubelets draw from?

In what ways are the Cubelets being tested and utilized?
