		  autonomously change their shape and size to meet specific
		  operational demands. Recently, there has been a great
		  interest in using self-reconfigurable robots in
		  applications such as reconnaissance, rescue missions, and
		  space applications. Designing and controlling
		  self-reconfigurable robots is a difficult task. Hence, the
		  research has primarily been focused on developing systems
		  that can function in a controlled environment. This paper
		  presents a novel self-reconfigurable robotic system called
		  SuperBot, which addresses the challenges of building and
		  controlling deployable self-reconfigurable robots. Six
		  prototype modules have been built and preliminary
		  experimental results demonstrate that SuperBot is a
		  flexible and powerful system that can be used in
		  challenging real-world applications.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">inproceedings</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
