A Vision-based Scheme for Kinematic Model Construction of Re-configurable Modular Robots

open access: yes, 2017
Re-configurable modular robotic (RMR) systems are advantageous for their reconfigurability and versatility. A new modular robot can be built for a specific task by using modules as building blocks.

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 ...

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 ...

Modular and Self-Scalable Origami Robot: A First Approach

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
This paper presents a proposal of a modular robot with origami structure. The proposal is based on a self-scalable and modular link made of soft parts. The kinematics of a single link and several links interconnected is studied and validated.

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.

Automatic Couplings With Mechanical Overload Protection for Modular Robots

open access: yesIEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics, 2019
This paper presents an automatic coupling mechanism with mechanical overload protection for use in modular robotic systems. The genderless coupling incorporates a novel safety mechanism that disengages two modules at a predefined torque threshold ...

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
