  • Abstract
    Designers of the PolyBot robot system solve the challenges of locomotion by mimicking locomotion in the animal world. PolyBot is a robot system made of many repeated simple modules. These modules can be connected together to form a variety of shapes to form a new system enabling a variety of functionalities.
