Reconfigurable Robots for Planetary Exploration

With the support of the National High-techDevelopment Program(dubbed “863 Program”), CAS re-searchers have made progress indeveloping modular reconfigurablerobots for planetary exploration.Like in other space exploration,robots for planetary probes are bothexpensive and at high risk. To copewith the problem, developing modu-lar reconfigurable robots become amajor option for the mission.Modular reconfigurable robot-ics is an approach to building ro-bots for various complex tasks. In-stead…
