A Distributed Self-Assembly Planning Algorithm for Modular Robots

Adaptive Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2018
A distributed modular robot is composed of many autonomous modules, capable of organizing the overall robot into a specific goal structure. There are two possibilities to change the morphology of such a robot.

Automated Reconfiguration of Modular Robots Using Robot Manipulators

IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, 2018
Self-reconfigurability in modular robots is a challenging task that usually requires complex module designs and algorithms. To make the reconfigurability easier, unpowered permanent magnet-based modules can be reconfigured by an external robotic ...

Robotized Assembly of Modular Fixtures

CIRP Annals, 1991
Summary A prototype plant for the robotized assembly of modular fixtures for NC machining centers is described. After presenting a brief summary of the present tendencies relative to the design, preparation and management of the fixtures, the plant and its components are described in their general structure, posing particular focus on the geometric ...

Modular Reconfigurable Robots

2018
In this paper, the authors present hexagonal and parallelepipedic modules used for reconfigurable mobile robots. These modules are equipped with types of wheels like the classic and omnidirectional type. By combining these modules the authors achieve multiple types of constructive solutions of wheeled mobile robots.

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), 2005
As 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.

Modular Decentralized Robot Control

Proceedings of the Intelligent Vehicles '93 Symposium, 2005
This paper addresses the design, verification and implementation of a fully decentralized Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control system based on transputer architecture. The existing algorithms of a fully decentralized sensing architecture are extended to deal with linear control problems in general and specifically in the area of motor actuation for ...

Self-assembling modular robotic structures

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2007
Cellular automata in the two-dimensional (2-D) world have been used to simulate self-replicating structures based on natural biological systems, evolution, and emergence. In self-replication, large structures consisting of multiple cells are programmed to make copies of themselves using the rule-based systems upon which the cellular automata are ...

Amphibious modular robotic astrobiology

SPIE Proceedings, 2007
This paper presents the design of a robot that can traverse land, water, as well as quicksand-like mud. The robot is low cost and modular allowing the replacement of a variety of arms suitable for many of the tasks associated with astrobiological exploration. An astrobiologist on a field study will spend most of the time walking around and exploring
