Real-world construction projects typically require three groups of tasks: site preparation
(earthmoving, leveling), substructure (anchoring, foundations), and superstructure (load …

This article reviews the current state of the art in the development of modular reconfigurable
robot (MRR) systems and suggests promising future research directions. A wide variety of …

This paper proposes a novel modular selfreconfigurable robot (MSRR)" FreeBOT", which
can be connected freely at any point on other robots. FreeBOT is mainly composed of two …

The theoretical ability of modular robots to reconfigure in response to complex tasks in a
priori unknown environments has frequently been cited as an advantage and remains a …

Modular self‐reconfigurable robots present wide and unique solutions for growing demands
in the domains of space exploration, automation, consumer products, and so forth. The …

This work presents a series of demonstrations of our self-reconfigurable modular robots
(SRMR)“Roombots” in the context of adaptive and assistive furniture. In literature …

This article presents a comprehensive survey of reconfigurable modular robots, which
covers the origin, history, the state of the art, key technologies, challenges, and applications …

Modular robots can be rearranged into a new design, perhaps each day, to handle a wide
variety of tasks by forming a customized robot for each new task. However, reconfiguring just …

Shape-changing robots adapt their own morphology to address a wider range of functions or
environments than is possible with a fixed or rigid structure. Akin to biological organisms, the …

This paper proposes a novel freeform strut-node structured modular self-reconfigurable
robot (MSRR) called FreeSN, consisting of strut and node modules. A node module is …
