| Abstract | Inter-module connectors are one of the key components of self-reconfiguring robot modules. Connectors provide the autonomous attaching and detaching that make selfreconfiguration possible. Robust connector design must consider the uncertainty in module positioning that is inherent to any physically realized system. We are interested in connectors that use mechanical self-alignment to tolerate the inevitable module misalignment that arises from such uncertainty. In this extended abstract, we divide the problem of connector design into two subproblems, grasping/self-alignment, and latching, and present the intial design and hardware evaluation of a new connector, the X-CLAW. |
