International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2014 The most important feature of a Self-Reconfigurable Robot (SRR) is that it is reconfigurable and self-repairing. At the centre of these capabilities is autonomous docking. One difficulty for docking is the alignment between two robots. Current strategies
