Abstract :
Reseach on modular robot is a hotspot in the robot field. The design methods to modular robot are different to traditional robot. By analyzing the domestic and international modular robot reaserch, the 7 kinds of modularizing methods and 3 kinds of configuring methods to modular robot have been summed up. A bottom-up approach about system design of modular robot is presented to achieve the goal of rapid response of the users.
