Modular Robotics

Modular Robotics is a robotic system composed of multiple standardized, autonomous, and reconfigurable units that can physically connect and coordinate to form diverse morphologies and functionalities, distinguishing it from monolithic or fixed-architecture robotic systems through its inherent capacity for adaptive, task-driven self-reconfiguration.
