Analysis on Self-Morphing Process of Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robot
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2009 The self-reconfigurable modular robot consists of many identical modules. By connecting to/disconnecting from other modules, the whole structure of the robot can transform into arbitrary other configurations.

Reconfiguration of 3D Crystalline Robots Using O(log n) Parallel Moves
, 2009 We consider the theoretical model of Crystalline robots, which have been introduced and prototyped by the robotics community. These robots consist of independently manipulable unit-square atoms that can extend/contract arms on each side and attach/detach

High-Level Control Of Modular Robots
, 2012 Reconfigurable modular robots can exhibit different specializations by rearranging the same set of parts comprising them. Actuating modular robots can be complicated because of the many degrees of freedom that scale exponentially with the size of the ...

Modular Robotic Playware [PDF]
, 2016 There is an open debate on whether today’s consumer driven economy is constantly encouraging us to buy and not to build. Plagiarism and copyright policies can potentially serve as mental barricades that dry out our curiosity, creativity and collaboration [1, 2]. In this work we, at Center for Playware, seek to revitalize and quench our users thirst for
