Autonomous Distributed System for Gait Generation for Single-Legged Modular Robots Connected in Various Configurations

IEEE Transactions on robotics, 2020
To date, many gait generation strategies have been designed for robots with leg configurations that model those of natural creatures. However, their leg configurations are limited to the $2\times N$ type, such as hexapod or myriapod; hence ...

Modular Robot Representation

2021
This chapter reviews the basic concepts, definitions, and algorithms in graph theory, which is important to the mathematical representation of modular robot assembly configurations. Since a modular robot is a collection of link and joint modules, a re-classification scheme for links and joints is proposed to translate a modular robot into a kinematic ...

Modular multi-degree-of-freedom soft origami robots with reprogrammable electrothermal actuation

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Significance A plug-and-play soft modular origami robot is introduced, enabled by electrothermal actuation with highly bendable heaters. The heater, based on a stretchable silver nanowire conductor, exhibits large, reversible local bending along the ...

Modular Reconfigurable Robotics

Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, 2019
This article reviews the current state of the art in the development of modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) systems and suggests promising future research directions. A wide variety of MRR systems have been presented to date, and these robots promise to be versatile, robust, and low cost compared with other conventional robot systems.
