A Novel Docking System for Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robots
Robotics, 2017 Existing self-reconfigurable robots achieve connections and disconnections by a separate drive of the docking system. In this paper, we present a new docking system with which the connections and disconnections are driven by locomotion actuators, without
