Dynamically Reconfigurable Robotic System

open access: yesJournal of Robotics and Mechatronics, 1994
This paper deals with experimental aspects of a practical realization method for the cellular robotic system (CEBOT). CEBOT is a dynamically reconfigurable robotic systems which can reconfigure robots in an optimal structure, depending on working purposes and environments This is one of the autonomous distributed, cooperative systems, which are capable

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.

Software reconfiguration in robotics [PDF]

open access: yesEmpirical Software Engineering
Abstract Robots often need to be reconfigurable—to customize, calibrate, or optimize robots operating in varying environments with different hardware. A particular challenge in robotics is the automated and dynamic reconfiguration to load and unload software components, as well as parameterizing them. Over the last decades, a large variety of

Reconfiguration planning for heterogeneous self-reconfiguring robots [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 2003 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2003) (Cat. No.03CH37453), 2004
Current research in self-reconfiguring robots focuses predominantly on systems of identical modules. However, allowing modules of varying types, with different sensors, for example, is of practical interest. In this paper, we propose the development of an algorithmic basis for heterogeneous self-reconfiguring systems.

Path Planning for a Reconfigurable Robot in Extreme Environments

open access: yesIEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2021
In recent years, the inspection of extreme environments using mobile robots has gained traction, as robots are able to mitigate the risk placed on humans and at times achieve what humans are unable to.

Kinematics and workspace analysis of a 3DOF parallel reconfigurable robot [PDF]

open access: yesمجله مدل سازی در مهندسی, 2000
Parallel robots are widely used in many industrial and medical applications. Reconfigurable parallel robots could be defined as a group of parallel robots that can have different geometries, thus obtaining different degrees of freedom derived from the ...

Self-Reconfigurable Robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A distributed reconfigurable micro-robotic system is a collection of unlimited numbers of distributed small, homogeneous robots designed to autonomously organize and reorganize in order to achieve mission-specified geometric shapes and functions. This project investigated the design, control, and planning issues for self-configuring and self-organizing
