Roombots: Self-reconfigurable Modular Robots

Description

This lecture presented by Simon from the Biorebotics Laboratory introduces roombots, a type of modular robots capable of autonomous self-reconfiguration. The focus is on the mechanical design, challenges of self-reconfiguration, locomotion, and user interfaces. The vision is to apply roombots in assistive and adaptive furniture for living spaces.
