Autonomous and Self-Sufficient CONRO Modules for Reconfigurable Robots

The goal of the Conro project is to build deployable modular robots that can reconfigure into different shapes such as snakes or hexapods. In this paper we present an overview of the first generation of the Conro modules. The modules are designed to work in groups, as part of a larger modular robot. Still, Each module is, itself, a complete autonomous and self-contained robot with its own processor, power supply, communication system, sensors and actuators. We conclude the paper by describing some of the robots that could be built using these modules.
