🤖 Cutting-edge Tech & Innovative Concept! A Chinese #tech company has unveiled the world's first self-developed and manufactured modular #robot capable of free-form assembly. This robot can handle a dynamic load of 100 kg and stably perform complex maneuvers—including tumbling, obstacle avoidance, self-righting, and pivoting—in challenging environments. #China 🤖 新技术、新创意！近日，#中国 一科技公司自主研发制造的全球首款可自由拼接型 #机器人 亮相。该机器人可动态负载100公斤，在复杂环境中稳定完成翻滚、避障、起身、回转等动作。 | CCTV Asia Pacific

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

Variable Topology Truss is a class of self-reconfigurable modular robots that are in truss structure. These robots are promising for a variety of tasks due to its flexibility. We present a framework to do motion planning for these robots, including geometry reconfiguration and topology reconfiguration.
