The self-reconfiguring robotic molecule [PDF]
Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.98CH36146), 2002 We discuss a robotic module called a molecule. Molecules can be the basis for building self-reconfiguring robots. They support multiple modalities of locomotion and manipulation. We describe the design, functionality, and control of the molecule. We show how a set of molecules can aggregate as active three-dimensional structures that can move and ...
