Game of Robots is a robotic material system operating in the cyber-physical space, able to self-assemble, self-assess and reconfigure. The project was developed in the Research Cluster 3 2019/2020, @bartlett_b_pro at @bartlettarchucl, taught by Valentina Soana, Tyson Hosmer @tysonhosmer and Octavian Gheorghiu, by a stellar team of students: Yalu Lin, Youdan Zhang, Zhuo Cheng, Zhilong Yang Video Credit: Valentina Soana -------------------------------- Get your company on Wevolver.

Self-reconfigurable modular robots are usually composed of multiple modules with uniform docking interfaces that can be transformed into different configurations by themselves. The reconfiguration planning problem is finding what sequence of reconfiguration actions are required for one arrangement of modules to transform into another. We present a novel reconfiguration planning algorithm for modular robots. Image/video credits: Modlab UPenn We strive to get permission for each peace of content w
