Abstract
This paper introduces the idea of WARMOR: WhegsTM adaptation and reconfiguration of modular robot with tunable compliance. WARMOR robot revisits the purpose of using Whegs for robust propelling the robot over unknown and scattered terrain by approaching two topics necessary for improved performance: modularity for reconfiguration and tunable compliance for adaptation. The paper describes the robot, especially the design of wheg-derivatives and controller.
