A cube indicates some interesting properties such as changing its top faces when it rolls around on the ground without slip. This property originates in cube's shape and rolling constraints. In this study, we have tried to develop the cubic mobile robot which utilizes its rolling constraints or ordered shape originating in its cubic shape. This paper presents the development of the cubic mobile robot whose locomotion depends on the rolling constraints and the inner mass manipulation. The inner mass manipulation is generated by two motors attached the masses on their arms. As the first step of the development, the fundamental rolling experiments were carried out.
