MAP-Elites Enables Powerful Stepping Stones and Diversity for Modular Robotics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
In modular robotics modules can be reconfigured to change the morphology of the robot, making it able to adapt to specific tasks. However, optimizing both the body and control of such robots is a difficult challenge due to the intricate relationship ...

Safety considerations for autonomous, modular robotics in aerospace manufacturing [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
Industrial robots are versatile machines that can be used to implement numerous tasks. They have been successful in applications where–after integration and commissioning–a more or less static and repetitive behaviour in conjunction with closed work ...

Learning Modular Policies for Robotics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2014
A promising idea for scaling robot learning to more complex tasks is to use elemental behaviors as building blocks to compose more complex behaviour. Ideally, such building blocks are used in combination with a learning algorithmthat is able to learn to ...

Teachers’ Creative Behaviors in STEAM Activities With Modular Robotics

open access: yesFrontiers in Education, 2021
As STEAM activities require both the teachers and learners to be creative, it is important to train teachers to instruct and guide creativity not only when students begin a task, but also throughout its entire process persistently to maintain creative ...

Modular Fluidic Propulsion Robots [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2021
We propose a novel concept for modular robots, termed modular fluidic propulsion (MFP), which promises to combine effective propulsion, a large reconfiguration space, and a scalable design. MFP robots are modular fluid networks. To propel, they route fluid through themselves. In this article, both hydraulic and pneumatic implementations are considered.

Comparative analysis of creative problem solving tasks across age groups using modular cube robotics

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI
Creative Problem Solving (CPS) is an important competency when using digital artifacts for educational purposes. Using a dual-process approach, this study examines the divergent thinking scores (fluidity, flexibility, and originality) and problem-solving
