FireAnt3D: a 3D self-climbing robot towards non-latticed robotic self-assembly
Petras Swissler,Michael Rubenstein,Petras Swissler,Michael Rubenstein
Robotic self-assembly allows robots to join to form useful, on-demand structures. Unfortunately, the methods employed by most self-assembling robotic swarms compromise this promise of adaptability through their use of fixed docking locations, which impair a swarm's ability to handle imperfections in the structural lattice resulting from load deflection or imperfect robot manufacture; these concern...
