CellRobot I, a modular robot prototype, are developed by a group of undergraduate students in Beihang University. One source of inspiration originates in biology systems where lower-level cells can grow, reproduce and construct kinds of higher-level tissues. CellRobots can also change configurations and be reassembled with one another to form a range of new structures, allowing them to adpat to variety of tasks and environments. Each “cell” has six attachable dockers and a DOF to allow it to spin by itself. By attaching cells together it gains DoF and can perform various actions as required. This version also had a detachable camera that can be installed to further expand it’s capabilities.

This project have later evolved into a startup company - KEYi Technology Inc.
