This research presents a novel Collective Robotic Construction (CRC) system named RECCraft. The RECCraft hardware system is composed of the mobile manipulation vehicles, the cubic blocks, and the folding ramp blocks. Solid connection and easy removal of the blocks are achieved by an electropermanent magnet and silicon steel sheets. With one degree of freedom (DOF) lifting manipulator, the robot ca...
