Modular self-reconfigurable robotic (MSRR) systems are potentially more robust and more adaptive than conventional systems. Following our previous work where we proposed a freeform MSRR module called FreeBOT, this paper presents a novel configuration detection system for FreeBOT using a magnetic sensor array. A FreeBOT module can be connected by up to 11 modules, and the proposed configuration det...
