Abstract

This paper explores the space of active modular trusses, ranging from a passive truss with one independent active climbing module to fully self-reconfiguring dynamically controllable trusses comprised of active modules and passive struts. We describe a hardware design for truss climbing and present hierarchical algorithms for controlling hyper-redundant modular trusses.
