Guided Structure Formation Using Modular E-Pucks

The page contains videos and additional resources for the project.

Abstract

We present a low-cost modular e-puck platform that is capable of forming a wide variety of shapes, under control of infra-red cameras. This work develops some of the basic infrastructure required to allow for further investigation of on-demand, and environmentally driven shape formation on modular robotic systems.
