contents This paper presents a novel type of mobile rolling robot designed as a modular platform for non-prehensile manipulation, highlighting the associated control challenges in achieving balancing control of the robotic system. The developed rolling disk modules incorporate an innovative internally actuated magnetic-pendulum coupling mechanism, which introduces a compelling control problem due to the frictional and sliding interactions, as well as the magnetic effects between each module. In this paper, we derive the nonlinear dynamics of the robot using the Euler-Lagrange formulation. Then, through simulation, the motion behavior of the system is studied and analyzed, providing critical insights for future investigations into control methods for complex non-prehensile motion between robotic modules. Also, we study the balancing of this new platform and introduce a new motion pattern of lifting. This research aims to enhance the understanding and implementation of modular self-reconfigurable robots in various scenarios for future applications.
