Abstract

Modular robotic systems consists of more than one modules that are homogeneous and this paper proposes a novel structure design of modular robots called M-Lattice, which stands out for its load-capacity and high efficiency in self-reconfiguration. Compressibility of M-Lattice is guaranteed by the topological structure and the amount of compression has been calculated. The motion space indicates that different types of motion can be accomplished without interference. Two prototypes have been made to verify the motion ability of the modules and experiment shows the motion process of M-Lattice system.
