Self-reconfigurable robots

Self-reconfigurable robots are systems made up of multiple robotic modules that can dynamically change their shape and configuration to adapt to different tasks or environments. They can connect, disconnect, and rearrange themselves automatically, allowing them to navigate complex spaces, perform various functions, or recover from damage. This flexibility enhances their usability in diverse situations, such as search and rescue, exploration, or maintenance. Essentially, these robots are like modular building blocks that can transform their form to better suit their current needs, providing versatility and resilience unmatched by single, fixed-structure robots.
