Lamarckian Evolution of Simulated Modular Robots [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2019 We study evolutionary robot systems where not only the robot brains but also the robot bodies are evolvable. Such systems need to include a learning period right after ‘birth' to acquire a controller that fits the newly created body.

Modular Fluidic Propulsion Robots [PDF]
IEEE 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.
