Self-reconfiguration achieved witht a symple implementation of soft modular robotic cubes

[Juan Cristobal Zagal]

Hello,

Thank you for allowing me to join the group!

I would like to share our recent research on a simple implementation of soft modular robotic cubes published
last week in PLoS ONE.

I though it might be of interest to this group due to the simplicity of the implementation,.... We do not use
any internal active latching, instead, self-reconfiguration is achieved thanks to the coordinated inflation
of modules.

And here are a couple of links to the paper (open access):
