Line 61: ===Hardware design challenges=== The extent to which the promise of self-reconfiguring robotic systems can be realized depends critically on the numbers of modules in the system. To date, only systems with up to about 3050 units have been demonstrated, with this number stagnating over almost a decade. There are a number of fundamental limiting factors that govern this number: * Limits on strength, precision, and field robustness (both mechanical and electrical) of bonding/docking interfaces between modules. * Limits on motor power, motion precision and energetic efficiency of units, (i.e. specific power, specific torque) ===Planning and control challenges===
