5. 내 용 :


Robots made up of many simple modules hold the promise of being very versatile, robust and inexpensive. While the modules cannot do much individually, many modules attached together can accomplish much more complicated task while also having the ability to rearrange the modules themselves to achieve a large variety of tasks. We have developed a system called PolyBot and demonstrated the over 10 types of locomotion including locomotion like a snake, caterpillar, spider, rolling track and multi-legged creatures.
