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.
