DESIGN OF AUTONOMOUS COUPLING MECHANISM FOR MODULAR RECONFIGURABLE LUNAR ROVERS by CHRIS LYKE Bachelor of Arts Honors Thesis Thayer School of Engineering Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Date: __________________________ Approved:______________________ Advisor’s Signature ______________________________ Author’s Signature Abstract Modular reconfigurable robotics consist of modules that can join together to form larger entities capable of changing their morphologies for improved versatility, robustness, and cost. Coupling mechanisms play a key role in these systems, as they are the component connecting the modules and enabling the robot to change shape. Coupling mechanisms also define the structure, rigidity, and function of modular systems. This paper details the development of the autonomous coupling mechanism for SHREWs, a modular reconfigurable system of rovers designed to explore the permanently shadowed regions of the Moon.

    To the Member Banks of the Seventh Federal Reserve District: It is our pleasure to submit to you the Annual Report of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for the year 1963. The past year has been generally favorable and the prospects are good that this trend will continue in 1964. Some of the more significant developments are described briefly at the beginning of this report. Following the review of 1963, we present a discussion of the automobile indus­ try which plays such an important role in the economy of the Seventh District and the nation. Official appointments, elections and resignations during the year are reported on pages 27-29. The Bank’s balance sheet and operating statement are presented on pages 30 and 31. The volume of transactions in many departments of the Bank rose further in 1963, reflecting the continued growth of economic activity in the Midwest (page 32). On behalf of the directors, officers and staff, I extend to you appreciation for your cooperation and counsel on all matters concerning the continued provision of financial services of high quality to the public. Sincerely, January 16, 1964 Business developments ,^ \_ t the beginning of 1964, business activity had food processing, textiles, paper and chemicals. been expanding for almost three years.
