Towards robotic self-reassembly after explosion

— This paper introduces a new challenge problem, designing robotic systems to recover after disassembly from high energy events. Implementation of a camera-based localization algorithm for self-reassembly is discussed. The control architecture for the various states of the robot, from fully-assembled to the modes for sequential docking, are explained and inter-module communication details for the robotic system are described.
