#NSFfunded researchers develop modular robots that can autonomously adapt to changing environments. | National Science Foundation (NSF)

Self-reconfigurable modular robots are usually composed of multiple modules with uniform docking interfaces that can be transformed into different configurations by themselves. The reconfiguration planning problem is finding what sequence of reconfiguration actions are required for one arrangement of modules to transform into another. We present a novel reconfiguration planning algorithm for modular robots. Image/video credits: Modlab UPenn We strive to get permission for each peace of content w
