Reconfiguration of Autonomous Robotics
International Journal of Robotics Applications and Technologies, 2015Autonomous robotics systems (ARSs) consist of multiple heterogeneous objects and intelligent inferences that are expected to take appropriate actions even in unforeseen circumstances. Dynamic reconfiguration of ARSs is a key enabling technology and plays a major role in the future cyber-enabled battle field.

Docking in self-reconfigurable robots
Proceedings 2001 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Expanding the Societal Role of Robotics in the the Next Millennium (Cat. No.01CH37180), 2002Docking is a crucial action for self-reconfigurable robots because it supports almost all practical advantages of such robots. In addition to the classic docking challenges found in other applications, such as reliable dock/latch mechanics, effective guiding systems, and intelligent control protocols, docking in self-reconfigurable robots is also ...

PolyBot: a modular reconfigurable robot
Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002Modular, self-reconfigurable robots show the promise of great versatility, robustness and low cost. The paper presents examples and issues in realizing those promises. PolyBot is a modular, self-reconfigurable system that is being used to explore the hardware reality of a robot with a large number of interchangeable modules.

A cuboctahedron module for a reconfigurable robot
2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010We present a concept for a modular robot with a quasi-regular polyhedron based on a cuboctahedron element. Lattice-type modular robots can adapt their morphology by reconfiguring to various shapes. While regular polyhedrons provide the bases of many promising 3D lattice elements, few modular robots have shapes with more than six regular faces.

Dynamic Reconfiguration for Robot Software
2006 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2006Robot applications are autonomous systems that operate in highly dynamic surroundings. Consequently, they are susceptible to changing environmental characteristics and unanticipated resource breakdowns. Furthermore, they are often required to operate for extended periods.

Adaptability of reconfigurable robotic systems
2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.03CH37422), 2004This research treats a design for reconfigurable robotic systems with large variations in configurations. To evaluate system adaptability, we define the configuration space to be the set of all feasible configuration variations of the robotic system.

Snapbot: A reconfigurable legged robot
2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017We develop a reconfigurable legged robot, named Snapbot, to emulate configuration changes and various styles of legged locomotion. The body of Snapbot houses a microcontroller and a battery for untethered operation. The body also contains connections for communication and power to the modular legs. The legs can be attached to and detached from the body

On the complexity of optimal reconfiguration planning for modular reconfigurable robots
2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2010This paper presents a thorough analysis of the computational complexity of optimal reconfiguration planning problem for chain-type modular robots, i.e. finding the least number of reconfiguration steps to transform from the initial configuration into the goal configuration.

Self-reconfigurable robots topodynamic
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004Modules connected to each other form a network. So, a modular robot is a module network. In the case of reconfigurable robots, the topology of this network evolves. We propose to ground the study of self-reconfigurable robots in a framework inspired by graph theory and cellular automata.
