This paper outlines the design, specifications, and algorithms for a new modular self-reconfigurable robotic system; at its foundation is a novel modular magnetically geared linear actuator paired with a kinematic coupling connector. Motivating this work is the core idea that high performance actuators as well as inexpensive, precise and repeatable connectors are the key ingredients required for u...
