4. Module Prototype and Experiments

Experiment of unit motion. The modules can realize the basic motion explained in section 2 as one module lift the other against gravity.

Controller (PIC BasicStamp II, FETs) (Inter-module communication is possible through electrodes embedded in the pin and holes)		Movie of experiments. The overview of a module, Motion of the SMA actuator mechanism, Self-reconfiguration experiment using 6 modules. (RealMedia format, 6.5MB)
