  • This paper defines the basic concept of configuration topological transformation of underwater modular self-reconfigurable robots, and sums up the discipline of the optimal topological transformation. Then a genetic algorithm is employed to the topological transformation optimization, which effectively reduces connection and disconnection times in the self-reconfiguration.
