Towards robot modularity — A review of international modularity standardization for service robots
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2022Abstract The paper presents ISO standardization work carried out to formulate guidelines for service robot modularity for assisting the development of open plug-n-play modules that can be easily assembled to create application specific robots and robot systems.

On Sub-modularization and Morphological Heterogeneity in Modular Robotics
2013Modular robots are a kind of robots built from mechatronic modules, which can be assembled in many different ways allowing the modular robot to assume a wide range of morphologies and functions. An important question in modular robotics is to which degree modules should be heterogeneous.

Development of modular legged robots: study with three-legged robot modularity
2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005As an experimental platform for modular legged robots, generic limb modules are developed which are used to implement 3-limb robot units. Benefits of 3-limb modularity are discussed in the context of multi-legged robot assembly. A CPG network based locomotion gait generation approach for generic multi-leg formations is considered.

Flexible kinematics for modular robots
Microprocessors and Microsystems, 1995Abstract Industry uses an enormous variety of robots with different capabilities to perform different tasks. A possible alternative might be to use modular robots. These could be assembled with a combination of joints, links, tools and sensors as required to perform a particular task.

Design of a modular snake robot
2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007Many factors such as size, power, and weight constrain the design of modular snake robots. Meeting these constraints requires implementing a complex mechanical and electrical architecture. Here we present our solution, which involves the construction of sixteen aluminum modules and creation of the Super Servo, a modified hobby servo.

Dynamic rolling of modular robots
Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002Highly redundant modular robots may undergo large shape changes which significantly affect the geometry and dynamics of the robot. In these motions, the shape change may induce a tipping or rolling behavior of the robot itself. The paper describes the dynamic modeling, control, and simulation of such rolling motions for the Tetrobot modular robots. The

Emergence of Functional Modularity in Robots
1998The origin and structural and functional significance of modular design in organisms represent an important issue debated in many different disciplines. To be eventually successful in clarifying the evolutionary mechanisms underpinning the emergence of modular design in complex organisms, one should be able to cover all different levels of biological ...
