A non-cubic space-filling modular robot
Tyler Hummer,Sam Kriegman,Tyler Hummer,Sam Kriegman
Space-filling building blocks of diverse shape permeate nature at all levels of organization, from atoms to honeycombs, and have proven useful in artificial systems, from molecular containers to clay bricks. But, despite the wide variety of space-filling polyhedra known to mathematics, only the cube has been explored in robotics. Thus, here we roboticize a non-cubic space-filling shape: the rhombi...
