Abstract
The self-reconfigurable modular robotic system is a class of robots that can alter its configuration by rearranging the connectivity of their component modular units. The reconfiguration deformation planning problem is to find a sequence of reconfiguration actions to transform one reconfiguration into another. In this paper, a hybrid reconfiguration deformation planning algorithm for modular robots is presented to enable reconfiguration between initial and goal configurations. A hybrid algorithm is developed to decompose the configuration into subconfigurations with maximum commonality and implement distributed dynamic mapping of free vertices. The module mapping relationship between the initial and target configurations is then utilized to generate reconfiguration actions. Simulation and experiment results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
