Reconfiguration planning for heterogeneous self-reconfiguring robots [PDF]
Proceedings 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.

Software reconfiguration in robotics [PDF]
Empirical Software EngineeringAbstract 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

Earwig-inspired foldable origami wing for micro air vehicle gliding
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2023 Foldable wings serve as an effective solution for reducing the size of micro air vehicles (MAVs) during non-flight phases, without compromising the gliding capacity provided by the wing area.

Soft Adaptive Mechanical Metamaterials
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 Soft materials are inherently flexible and make suitable candidates for soft robots intended for specific tasks that would otherwise not be achievable (e.g., smart grips capable of picking up objects without prior knowledge of their stiffness). Moreover,

The self-reconfiguring robotic molecule [PDF]
Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.98CH36146), 2002 We discuss a robotic module called a molecule. Molecules can be the basis for building self-reconfiguring robots. They support multiple modalities of locomotion and manipulation. We describe the design, functionality, and control of the molecule. We show how a set of molecules can aggregate as active three-dimensional structures that can move and ...

Dynamically Reconfigurable Robotic System
Journal 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
