....[3] Later studies have reported examples in 2D such as metamorphing hexagonal modules [4] self repairing machines [5] the Cristalline robot [6] which moves in a horizontal plane, and Inchworm [7] which moves in a vertical plane. The examples operating in 3D are Polypod Polybot [8] CONRO [9], robotic molecule [10] self reconfigurable structure [11] modular robot [12] Proteo [13] and I Cubes [14] A common property of what is presented in [8 14] is the capability of exploiting neighboring modules to fulfill the task. In the literature, several approaches have been proposed to ....

....for operation outside of the laboratory is a di#cult task. In order to function in a variety of environments, researchers have looked into making easily reconfigurable or selfreconfiguring robots such as the PolyBot [9] and the Figure 1: A prototype COTS Scout in an outdoor setting. CONRO [2] for increased locomotion capability. Supporting the reconfiguration of sensors [6] also allows for more useful real world applications. Another example of creating hybrid heterogeneous robotic teams to accommodate problems associated with limited locomotion and sensing capabilities of a single ....

....of small robots with locomotion is the task of Urban Search and Rescue. Researchers [2] hope that the number of victims of a catastrophe can be reduced by sending robots in first rather than risk more lives. Specific projects utilize reconfigurability and unique forms of locomotion such as CONRO [3] and the marsupial approach [6] Both approaches allow for larger robotic systems to decompose into smaller systems that may be more capable for specific movements inside the search area. 4 Conclusions and Future Work The next generation of the Scout robot will incorporate refined versions of ....

Modular systems that can self reconfigure and move in 3 D include Polypod Polybot [10] and CONRO [11] that combine different gaits, and robotic molecule [12] selfreconfigurable structure [13] Proteo [14] and I Cubes [15] that are capable of changing shape using neighboring modules. Most of these systems are homogeneous with the exception of Polypod Polybot and I Cubes, which consist of two ....
....our previous attachment mechanism for the new scale, we have also revisited some of our previous designs in order to test their feasibility with the new scale and new manufacturing capabilities. Extending the cone shaped connector idea [1] using a locking mechanism similar to the one given in [11], we have tested a connector with four pegs and a latch under the faceplate (Figure 7a) Although the locking mechanism with SMA actuation worked fine, the surface shapes required to guarantee faceplate clearance forced us to decrease the support surfaces for the attachment points. Extending ....

Previous twodimensional systems include Inchworm [9] selforganizing robots [8] moving in vertical planes, selfrepairing modular machine [21] and metamorphing robots [13] moving in horizontal plane. Recent threedimensional systems are Polypod Polybot [19, 20] and CONRO [2] that can combine different gaits and the self reconfiguring molecule [10] and the selfreconfigurable structure [11] that are both capable of moving in any direction using neighboring elements as pivot points. The system described here is a self reconfiguring bipartite system that enables the ....
