SMORES-EP is a swarm and modular robotic system designed and built at the University of Pennsylvania, and used by researchers at Penn and Cornell. SMORES stands for Self-Assembling MOdular Robot for Extreme Shapeshifting, and EP refers to the Electro-Permanent magnets the modules use to connect. The SMORES-EP robotic system was developed by Dr. Tarik Tosun and Dr. Chao Liu at the University of Pennsylvania supervised by Dr. Mark Yim.
