molecubes
This robotic performs self replication, the robot contains modular cubes. Each cube has identical machinery and a complete computer program for replication. The cubes have electromagnets on each of the faces, which helps them to selectively attach and detach from one another. The cubes are diagonally divided in half that allows them to composed many cubes to bend, reconfigure and manipulate other cubes. How this works in steps
1. Stack of cubes bends over and sets its top cube on the table
2. Bends to one side or another to pick up a new cube and deposit it on top of the first
3. Repeats the process and make a create another stack just like it
