Abstract

M-TRAN is a self-reconfigurable modular robot: each module has an independent battery, two-degree-of-freedom motion, six-surface-connection capability, and intelligence with inter- module communication. The M-TRAN system can perform flexible and adaptive locomotion in various configurations using co
