Robots perform tasks such as displacement, exploration or object transportation under different environments and operating conditions. In search of a high degree of mobility, versatility and robustness, researchers used the social insect metaphor and the selfassembling and self-reconfiguration abilities displayed when they transport objects or build nests as a model. This led to the design and ...
