Modular electro-mechanical agent

A kit for constructing an electro-mechanical agent configured to achieve one or more pre-determined tasks, the kit comprising:

• at least one rail structure having a plurality of rail surfaces, each of the plurality of rail surfaces including a pre-defined rail slot pattern, the pre-defined rail slot pattern receiving at least one fastener;
• at least one unit including at least one of the at least one rail structures, the at least one unit forming a support structure for at least one module;
• at least one connector operably coupling the at least one unit to the at least one module, the at least one connector including a first surface and a second surface, the first surface including a plurality of protrusions operably coupling with at least one of the plurality of rail surfaces in the pre-defined rail slot pattern, the second surface including at least one hole receiving the at least one fastener, the second surface operably coupling with at least one portion of the at least one module;
• at least one communicator receiving and interpreting at least one command through at least one communications network, the at least one communicator receiving data related to the at least one module, the at least one communicator transmitting the data through the at least one communications network;
• at least one controller receiving the interpreted at least one command, the at least one controller controlling the at least one module based at least on the interpreted at least one command;
• and
• at least one power source providing power to the at least one controller, the at least one communicator, and the at least one module,
• wherein the electro-mechanical agent includes at least one of the at least one unit.

A modular construction kit comprising:

• a base including at least one extrusion;
• at least one mechanical component attached, by a first at least one connector, to the base, the first at least one connector including an indexable connector, the indexable connector including a first piece, the first piece including a first splined surface and an opposite planar surface, the first piece including apertures to receive fasteners, the indexable connector including a second piece, the second piece variably engaging with the first piece, the second piece including a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion including a hole pattern, the bottom portion having at least one slot and a second splined surface complementarily mating with the first splined surface;
• at least one electrical component attached, by a second at least one connector, to the base;
• at least one controller enclosure attached, by a third at least one connector, to the base, the at least one controller enclosure including at least one communications system and at least one controller module,
• wherein the at least one controller module directs the at least one electrical component to move the at least one mechanical component according to commands received by the at least one communications system.
