Abstract

Modular Reconfigurable Robotics deals with the design and building of robots that can come together in versatile configurations to form a lattice shape to adapt to the task at hand. DeusCell is an MRR unit that runs on command to self-assemble into a desired structure or design with real-time adaptability and the capability to reconfigure themselves if an external deformation occurs. The paper will discuss the system’s design, the new locomotion concept and its implementation, the actuation algorithm, and the analysis of the cube design. It reports on the hardware for locomotion.
