Reconfigurable robots can change their contact geometry when a fixed body cannot negotiate an obstacle. A variable-geometry truss (VGT) distributes this shape change through a load-bearing structure, but coupling it to a mobile base creates a high-dim
Reconfigurable robots can change their contact geometry when a fixed body cannot negotiate an obstacle. A variable-geometry truss (VGT) distributes this shape change through a load-bearing structure, but coupling it to a mobile base creates a high-dimensional coordination problem. GeoTrussRover combines an electrically actuated VGT, a wheeled base, and contact-semantic morphology planning and control. We solve one source traversal and extract four contact-semantic primitives that describe coordination among 21 members. Physics-constrained projection adapts them to unseen step heights with the same contact topology. When every phase remains feasible, adaptation does not recompute the complete motion. If one phase violates the new physical constraints, only that phase is recomputed. A full-space QP then tracks the adapted motion and corrects member and wheel errors. For transfer from 0.10m to 0.075m, the method reduces objective-function evaluations by 63.7% relative to full recomputation. Contact-phase feasibility analysis covers step heights from 0.10 to 0.46m, or 1.08 to 4.97 wheel radii, with the upper value near the theoretical feasible boundary. The electric prototype traverses 2.11 wheel radii. The resulting low-dimensional representation stores task coordination in a hyper-redundant, load-bearing morphology and reuses it during locomotion.
