Abstract :
Self-reconfigurable robots is a micro-robot team with self-reconfiguration capabilities, strong flexibility and concealment and so on, it has broad application prospects in military reconnaissance, disaster relief, space operations and other occasions. in recent years, it becaming one of hotspots in the field of robotics research. But a single robot has poor perception capacity of environmental information and impaired, so that the application of micro-robot has been greatly restriced. By planning and implementation collaborative function of self-reconfigurable robots, such as collaborative decision-making, collaborativeorientation, collaborative terrain reconnaissance, remodeling and more impaired functions, we can effectively enhance self-reconfigurable robots ability to adapt to dynamic environment, improve the overall performance of self-reconfigurable robots, and expand the robot´s applications.
