Dynamic Reconfiguration of Parallel Mechanisms
2010Shorter product life cycle as well as higher product complexity and diversity require more flexible manufacturing systems. Dynamic reconfiguration is a time efficient way to adapt system properties to rapidly changing process requirements. The potential to reconfigure parallel mechanisms depends on specific and optimized machine components, which ...

Carpie: A soft, mechanically-reconfigurable worm robot
2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2019Soft robots are a burgeoning archetype in robotics due to their ability to perform intricate movements easily and seamlessly. They serve as an ideal concept for realistically emulating animal movements. However, the majority of soft robots today are unable to vary their motions due to the coupled interaction of the nature of their kinematics and ...

Mechanical module interfaces for reconfigurable machine tools
Production Engineering, 2007Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) enable industrial companies to adapt to frequent and unpredictable changes of production requirements in a cost-efficient way. RMS are constituted by modular machine tools that provide variable overall functions with the ability to add, remove, rearrange and replace functional sub-units.

A mechanism for communicating in dynamically reconfigurable embedded systems
Proceedings 1997 High-Assurance Engineering Workshop, 2002We present a time bounded state based communication mechanism for dynamically reconfigurable embedded systems. The mechanism is a single processor, low overhead version of the Chimera state variable mechanism, that was developed for state based communication in multiprocessor environments.

Mechanically Reconfigurable Polarization Converter for Terahertz Waves
IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and TechnologyIn terahertz systems, polarization conversion is usually carried out using conventional waveplates. However, limitations in these waveplates arise from inadequate material accessibility, relatively narrow bandwidth, low efficiency, and bulkiness. To overcome these limitations, a transmissive terahertz metasurface with mechanically reconfigurable ...

Intelligent Method of Reconfiguring the Mechanical Transport System
2018This paper presents the problem of controlling the transportation of cargo in the mechanical transport system. The overall efficiency of the system includes the costs of reconfiguration, involving both software and manual changes in the parameters and relationships of equipment components.

Reconfiguration mechanism for an IP block based interconnection
Proceedings 25th EUROMICRO Conference. Informatics: Theory and Practice for the New Millennium, 1999This paper presents a reconfiguration mechanism for an on-chip interconnection scheme called Heterogeneous IP Block Interconnection (HIBI). Required memory structures and logical signal operations for the different configurations are explained. The possible applications for this kind of reconfiguration are discussed, including ways to enhance system ...
