Accomplishing High-Level Tasks with Modular Robots

, 2018
The advantage of modular self-reconfigurable robot systems is their flexibility, but this advantage can only be realized if appropriate configurations (shapes) and behaviors (controlling programs) can be selected for a given task.

A Multi-Sensory Autonomous Docking Approach for a Self-Reconfigurable Robot without Mechanical Guidance

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
