The project will develop methods for teams of robots to jointly overcome environmental hazards on the Moon by attaching to each other to form larger and more stable, maneuverable structures. The robots will use their interactions with the ground to form a map of safe and risky terrain, attach to each other as support when the ground traversal risk is high, move in a coordinated fashion once joined, and, once the maneuver has been successfully completed, separate to continue their original individual missions.
