Abstract
Task-reconfigurable robots consist of a set of oneor more identical autonomous modules that can adapttheir shape and function to tasks. We describe a modulethat can function as a climbing robot, a manipulator,or a leg in a multi-legged walker. This modulecan make autonomous transitions between thesestates. We present the control algorithms that enableour robot to be a versatile navigator and manipulatorand report on our experimental results.1Keywords
