Modular self-reconfigurable robot walks

Variable Topology Truss robots are distinguished by their linear actuators and passive spherical joints. However, they're also capable of reconfiguring themselves according to their needs. This robot ...
EPFL researchers have built a modular robot that becomes more reliable as it gains ...
EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual units, it is significantly more resistant to failure than traditional ...
