Abstract. We present a general distributed control algorithm for achieving locomotion of a self-reconfigurable robot. In this algorithm each module continuously performs a cyclic sequence of actions with a period ¤. When a specified fraction of this period ¥ has elapsed a signal is sent to all child modules.
