Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robot

Robots built from identical modules that autonomously rearrange into different shapes and functions
Back to ForgeView interactive version

Self-reconfiguring modular robots (SRCMR) are systems of identical modules that can autonomously rearrange themselves into different configurations. Hypothetical; experiments and early prototypes. Applications: universal physical machines; swarm robotics; adaptive structures. Challenges include control, power, and mechanical reliability.
