Linear reconfiguration of cube-style modular robots

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm that, given a source robot S and a target robot T , reconfigures S into T. Both S and T are robots composed of n atoms arranged in 2 × 2 × 2 meta-modules. The reconfiguration involves a total of O(n) atomic operations (expand, contract, attach, detach) and...
