This paper proposes a novel self-reconfigurable robot that is mainly composed of three parts, plastic shell, walking mechanism, magnet connection mechanism. There are two DC motors and two servo motors inside. The two DC motors are used for the walking of the robot, and the two servo motors are used for the relative movement of the two modules after the robots are connected. The robot can complete multiple tasks: the modules can move independently, the modules can move on the water surface after the modules are connected, and they can be connected into a ring to float on the water, etc. Experimental verification of these multiple tasks will follow.
