| Résumé : | We describe the Kilobot Soft Robot, a novel soft-bodied robot that is modular and reconfigurable. The Kilobot Soft Robot is realized by inter-connecting a group of miniature mobile modules, based on the commercially available Kilobot, through an elastic material. It moves and deforms fully autonomously. Each module executes a distributed algorithm that exploits only information that is locally obtained using omnidirectional, infrared based signaling. A series of experiments were conducted to validate the algorithm, investigating the ability of the robot to follow a predefined trajectory, to squeeze and extend its shape and to control its motion independently of the number of modules. |
