Résumé: This paper is aimed at designing a modular self-reconfigurable robot having self-assembly capability. The base idea is to exploit physical connections for solving tasks that are impossible for a single robot. Some examples of modular robots are examined. Limitations of homogeneous modules and of connection mechanisms are discussed. The model of a colony of heterogeneous modules with robust connecting mechanisms is proposed. In this paper, three types of modules for the following functions: gripper, climber, and joint units are presented. It is shown that this approach provides good autonomy and good flexibility.
