Energy sharing in modular self-reconfigurable robots ensures the energy balance of the modules, thus allowing the system to work sustainably. This paper proposes an energy sharing mechanism for a novel modular self-reconfigurable robot that allows free connections among modules, termed as FreeBOT, such that each FreeBOT can share energy with peers through surface contact. Corresponding energy shar...
