TransforMARS: Fault-Tolerant Self-Reconfiguration for Arbitrary-Shaped Modular Aerial Robot Systems

Modular Aerial Robot Systems (MARS) consist of multiple drone modules that are physically bound together to form a single structure for flight. Exploiting structural redundancy, MARS can be reconfigured into different formations to mitigate unit or rotor failures and maintain stable flight. Prior wo…
