Good question. This reminds me of NASA's ANTS/Autonomic NanoTechnology Swarm program which sounded pretty cool but I guess turned out to be a bust OR went black

Autonomous NanoTechnology Swarm - What's New
The concept was pretty cool in that this probe swarm would be programmed to form itself in a solar sail to propel itself to whatever planet it was sent to , form itself into a parachute enabled probe to land drop on the planet then form into a walking five sided walker...maybe roller would have been a better word...or into a wheeled probe depending on the terrain.
