A motorized module for a modular robotic structure comprises a housing, a first wheel, a second wheel, an elongated structure mounted to the first and second wheels and configured to rotate the first and second wheels. A driver is mounted to the housing between the first and second wheels. A leadscrew is mounted to the housing between the first and second wheels. A transmission drivingly connecting the driver to the leadscrew. A connector is coupled to the leadscrew and configured to move longitudinally along the second longitudinal axis in response to a rotation of the leadscrew, the connector being attached to the elongated structure.
