摘要
The TETROBOT is an actuated robotic structure which mag! be reassembled into many different configurations while still being controlled by the same hardware and software architecture. The TETROBOT system addresses the needs of application domains, such as space, undersea, mining, and construction, where adaptation to unstructured and changing environments and custom design for rapid implementation are required.
