Self-reconfigurable modular robots are usually composed of multiple modules with uniform docking interfaces that can be transformed into different configurations by themselves. The reconfiguration planning problem is finding what sequence of reconfiguration actions are required for one arrangement of modules to transform into another. We present a novel reconfiguration planning algorithm for modular robots. Image/video credits: Modlab UPenn We strive to get permission for each peace of content w

Variable Topology Truss is a class of self-reconfigurable modular robots that are in truss structure. These robots are promising for a variety of tasks due to its flexibility. We present a framework to do motion planning for these robots, including geometry reconfiguration and topology reconfiguration.
