Abstract: The cooperative reconfiguration of the mobile robot AMOEBA-I is presented via developing a mathematical model of relevant robot system to analyze theoretically the cooperative reconfiguration among every module and corresponding motion characteristics. The change in current is investigated when three modules are in the process of cooperative reconfiguration, thus implementing the transform between three specific configurations. The features of such a cooperative reconfiguration are compared through theoretical analysis and experiments, and the experimental results verifies the validity of the cooperative reconfiguration on various ground surfaces.
