DOI: 10.1109/lra.2019.2931216
Abstract: Self-reconfiguration is a hard problem due to the high dimensionality of self-reconfigurable modular systems. Search-based approaches offer complete and optimal solutions. However, naive search algorithms cannot directly solve self-reconfiguration tasks in reasonable time. In this… read more here.
