Previous work on locomotion strategies for lattice-based modular robots has provided several algorithms that allow modular robots move over sets of specific obstacles. Nevertheless, there was not yet a general algorithm that solved the problem of locomotion for any arbitrary set of obstacles. In this document, we introduce a general distributed algorithm of locomotion for 2D square lattice-based modular robots that solves the problem of locomotion over any given set of obstacles. The algorithm presented here is inspired in a caterpillar motion and uses the right-hand rule combined with local module information to guide the movement of a modular robot. The proof of correctness and complexity analysis are also given in this document ...
