Modular robotics is a field of robotics that deals with the design and construction of robots that are composed of modular parts. These parts are usually designed to be interchangeable, so that the robot can be reconfigured to perform different tasks. Modular robots are often used in research and development, as they offer a versatile platform for experimentation and testing.
Some of the emerging trends in modular robotics include the use of modular robots for construction, the use of modular robots for manufacturing, and the use of modular robots for healthcare applications.
