The invention relates to a mobile self-reconfigurable micro robot. The mobile self-reconfigurable micro robot comprises an alignment unit, a moving unit and a positioning unit. A circle of internally concave annular clamping slot is formed in the circumferential side surface of an annular chuck of the alignment unit; and an electromagnet placed in the annular chuck is connected with staggered clamping claws through a flexible rope. The moving unit is positioned at the lower part of the alignment unit; and two sets of moving mechanisms are mounted in a carrier housing of the moving unit, wherein each moving mechanism comprises a direct current motor, a worm gear and a synchronous belt. The positioning unit is positioned at the upper part of the alignment unit and comprises infrared transmitters and infrared receivers as well as one set of panoramic camera device, wherein the infrared transmitters and the infrared receivers are uniformly distributed in a circumferential direction of a circular bracket; and the panoramic camera device is used for reflecting through a convex lens and imaging through a camera. The clamping claws of the robot can be aligned and locked with the annular chuck of the robot, which is to be aligned, in any position of the circumferential direction of the annular chuck of the robot, which is to be aligned. Therefore, the alignment efficiency is high, a plurality of reconfigured shapes are available, and a small space is occupied in the alignment process.
