Abstract
Reconfigurable multirobot societies is a young area of robotics that promises
versatility, robustness and low cost as is relies on a society of multiple
robots that will be able to perform an immeasurable amount of different tasks,
tasks that not even were thought of at design time. In order to create a new
reconfigurable multi robot society from scratch that could be developed fast
and with low costs, it was opted to create a prototype from LEGO Mindstorms NXT
equipment, complemented with some expansion electronics developed to expand the
capabilities of the existing LEGO Mindstorms NXT system. This work describes
the successful creation of a reconfigurable multi robot society based on the
LEGO Mindstorms NXT systems, as well as the description of two prototypes that
were created on the way and were not successful
