Is polygon meshing a viable robotic strategy?

The individual modules of the Mori3 robot are triangular in shape. The modules easily join together to create polygons of different sizes and configurations in a process known as polygon meshing. “We have shown that polygon meshing is a viable robotic strategy,” says Christoph Belke, a Post-doctoral researcher in robotics.

Can mori3 be a polygon robot?

"Our aim with Mori3 is to create a modular, origami-like robot that can be assembled and disassembled at will depending on the environment and task at hand," says Jamie Paik, director of the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab. "Mori3 can change its size, shape and function." A polygon robot
