New Scientist Technology - Self-cloning robots are a chip off the old block: "Hod Lipson and colleagues at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, built their self-replicating device using small mechanical building blocks that can swivel, and also attach themselves to one another using electromagnets."


I think I read a Tom Strong comic about this, and it ended up badly.
