Multimodal collective swimming of magnetically articulated modular nanocomposite robots
Nature Communications, 2022 Magnetically responsive composites can impart maneuverability to miniaturized robots. However, collective actuation of these composite robots has rarely been achieved, although conducting cooperative tasks is a promising strategy for accomplishing ...

An integrated system for perception-driven autonomy with modular robots [PDF]
Science Robotics, 2017 A robot autonomously completes tasks by transforming its body to match its capabilities to newly encountered environments. The theoretical ability of modular robots to reconfigure in response to complex tasks in a priori unknown environments has ...

Linear Distributed Clustering Algorithm for Modular Robots Based Programmable Matter
IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems, 2020 Modular robots are defined as autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology. They are composed of several thousands or even millions of modules which are able to coordinate in order to behave intelligently.

The SMOOTH-Robot: A Modular, Interactive Service Robot [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 The SMOOTH-robot is a mobile robot that—due to its modularity—combines a relatively low price with the possibility to be used for a large variety of tasks in a wide range of domains. In this article, we demonstrate the potential of the SMOOTH-robot through three use cases, two of which were performed in elderly care homes. The robot is designed so that

Design and Dynamic Simulation Verification of an On-Orbit Operation-Based Modular Space Robot
Applied Sciences, 2023 Space robots have been playing an important role in space on-orbit operation missions. However, the traditional configuration of space robots only has a single function and cannot meet the requirements of different space missions, and the launch cost of ...

A distributed and morphology-independent strategy for adaptive locomotion in self-reconfigurable modular robots [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, we present a distributed reinforcement learning strategy for morphology-independent life-long gait learning for modular robots. All modules run identical controllers that locally and independently optimize their action selection based on ...
