@InProceedings{ salemi2006superbot, abstract = {Self-reconfigurable robots are modular robots that can autonomously change their shape and size to meet specific operational demands. Recently, there has been a great interest in using self-reconfigurable robots in applications such as reconnaissance, rescue missions, and space applications. Designing and controlling self-reconfigurable robots is a difficult task. Hence, the research has primarily been focused on developing systems that can function in a controlled environment. This paper presents a novel self-reconfigurable robotic system called SuperBot, which addresses the challenges of building and controlling deployable self-reconfigurable robots. Six prototype modules have been built and preliminary experimental results demonstrate that SuperBot is a flexible and powerful system that can be used in challenging real-world applications.}, address = {Beijing, China}, author = {Behnam Salemi and Mark Moll and Wei-Min Shen}, booktitle = iros-06, doi = {10.1109/IROS.2006.281719}, keywords = {prl}, month = oct, pages = {3636--3641}, title = {{SUPERBOT}: A Deployable, Multi-Functional, and Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robotic System}, year = {2006} }
