Modular Reconfigurable Robot Distributed Computing System for Tracking Multiple Objects

IEEE Systems Journal, 2020
A modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) is considered as a system of systems; that is, a robot control system consists of modular systems. For an MRR, onboard tracking of multiple objects is one of the most challenging tasks.

Self-reconfigurable multilegged robot swarms collectively accomplish challenging terradynamic tasks

Science Robotics, 2021
Multilegged swarm robots with self-reconfigurability can perform diverse tasks in variable terrain. Swarms of ground-based robots are presently limited to relatively simple environments, which we attribute in part to the lack of locomotor capabilities ...

An underactuated self-reconfigurable robot and the reconfiguration evolution

Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2018
Biological cells and tissues have diversified behaviors, which are supported by active tissues and passive tissues. Inspired by this, an underactuated self-reconfigurable robot was designed with passive joints and active joints.
