Moduloids

Moduloids are a fictional species appearing in the animated television series Futurama. They are a race of sentient, modular robots. Moduloids are characterized by their ability to detach and reattach their body parts, allowing them to combine with other Moduloids to form larger or specialized constructs. This modularity is a key aspect of their biology and social structure.

In the series, Moduloids are often depicted as laborers or performers, utilizing their ability to reconfigure for various tasks. They are generally portrayed as a simple, albeit useful, form of robotic life. Their individual units are typically humanoid in shape, with distinct segments for the head, torso, arms, and legs, which can be easily disconnected. When combined, they can form a wide array of shapes, from enormous robotic beings to specialized tools or even vehicles. The specific purpose of a combined Moduloid depends on the arrangement and number of individual units involved. Their dialogue often reflects a collective or somewhat simplistic understanding of the world, though they are shown to possess sentience and a capacity for independent thought within their individual units. Their society appears to be organized around this principle of modular cooperation.
