A new meta-module for efficient reconfiguration of hinged-units modular robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present a robust and compact meta-module for edge-hinged modular robot units such as M-TRAN, SuperBot, SMORES, UBot, PolyBot and CKBot, as well as for central-point-hinged ones such as Molecubes and Roombots.

Justification of the technical requirements of a fully functional modular robot

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Modular robots are characterized by limited built-in resources necessary for communication, connection and movement of modules, when performing reconfiguration tasks at rigidly interconnected elements.

Reconfigurable Innervation of Modular Soft Machines via Soft, Sticky, and Instant Electronic Adhesive Interlocking

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2023
Adaptive and extreme changes in shape and configuration are the functional and morphological uniqueness of soft robots, but existing design approaches still rely on the predefined coordination of their “muscle” and “nerve” functions to produce such ...

Demonstration of OPSORO : an open platform for social robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
One of the major obstacles in the study of human- robot interaction with social robots is the lack of platforms to allow for tests with large user groups. Often, the price of these robots prohibits using more than a handful of robots.

A Review and Evaluation of Control Architectures for Modular Legged and Climbing Robots

open access: yesBiomimetics
Robotic control is a fundamental part of autonomous robots. Modular legged and climbing robots are complex machines made up of a variety of subsystems, ranging from a single robot with simple legs to a complex system composed of multiple legs (or modules)

Human Control of Simulated Modular Soft Robots May Predict the Performance of Optimized AI-Based Controllers

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Robots with a modular body permit a wide range of physical configurations, which can be obtained by arranging the composing modules differently. While this freedom makes modular robots capable of performing different tasks, finding the optimal physical ...

The impact of module morphologies on modular robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Many different types of modular robots have been designed in the last two decades. However, limited research has been done on analyzing which module morphology is able to create better robots for a given task.

Decentralized control for harmonic drive–based modular and reconfigurable robots with uncertain environment contact

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
In this article, a decentralized control strategy is presented for harmonic drive–based modular and reconfigurable robots with uncertain environment contact. Unlike conventional methods that rely on robot–environment contact model or force/torque sensing,

Effect of disconnection of deformable units on the mobility and stiffness of 3D prismatic modular origami structures using angular kinematics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Architected modular origami structures show potential for future robotic matter owing to their reconfigurability with multiple mobilities. Similar to modular robots, the units of modular origami structures do not need to be assembled in a fully packed ...
