Paper, FE No;1:Reusable Electronics and Adaptable Communication as Implemented in the Odin Modular Robot By Ricardo Franco Mendoza Garcia, Andreas Lyder, David Johan Christensen and Kasper Stoy
This paper was an interesting read. I think it shows how far the research on SRCMR has come, that we can now start to refine the design.
I [...]
Ulrik Pagh Schultz, Mirko Bordignon, Kasper Støy have made another interesting video, showing some new developments.
One is that they have made the modules more robust, communication more fault tolerant, and the gripping mechanism more reliable. This is naturally very important, reliable and fault tolerant units and systems are absolutely necessary for SRCMR.
The other [...]

Self-Reconfigurable Robots by Sam Slee is an incredible resource. It contains an incredible number of links to what must be every major paper, research institution and researcher in the field of SRCMR. It is simply amazing.
When reading it, I had a thrilling moment when I found my own blog listed! That was so cool [...]
I found this, in internet terms rather old video, but I think it is a really cool illustration of how things can work in the future. I especially like the part (starting at 35 seconds) where he creates a phone when he needs one just by doing the dialing motion!
It will be interesting [...]
Good one-pager overview especially the chronology is nice. I also like the grand challenges, anybody up for building a thousand units over the weekend?
