Rus Robotics Laboratory – Research: Modular Self-Reconfiguring Robots

RUS ROBOTICS LABORATORY – RESEARCH: MODULAR SELF-RECONFIGURING ROBOTS

Modular Self-Reconfiguring Robots We wish to develop versatile and extensible massively-parallel distributed robotic systems. We believe that versatility can be obtained by developing self-reconfigurable systems. Self-reconfiguring robots have the ability to adapt to the operating environment and the required functionality by changing shape. They consist of a set of identical robotic modules…
