Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a modular, self-reconfigurable robot system (100) having a plurality of individual modules (1) connected to one another, which each have a tetrahedron-shaped support frame (2) having frame joints (5) as nodes (4) and having longitudinally adjustable support struts (3) adjoining the nodes (4), and having a plurality of releasable connections provided between the individual modules (1) and consisting of a plurality of co-operating connecting element (6) on the respective individual modules (1). In order to reduce the control costs on the robot system (100), according to the invention the releasable connections are provided between the support struts (3), which adjoin one another, of the respective individual modules (1), wherein at least one individual module (1) has at least one aligning device (7) which co-operates having at least two connecting elements (6) for alignment thereof, each of said elements being rotatably mounted on one support strut (3) of the support struts (3) adjoining a common node (4).
