Miniaturized Multifunctional Valves for Intelligent Pneumatic Systems in Soft Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Miniaturized multifunctional pneumatic valves in normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) configurations enable reconfigurable and programmable fluidic logic—including AND, OR, NAND, and NOR gates—with/without physical replumbing. These valves integrate sensing, logic, and actuation within a unified architecture, demonstrated through an electronics ...

Interbody Wire for Reconfigurable Robots: Bridging Integrated Morphological Reconfiguration and Distributed Wire‐Mediated Cooperation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
TwinX shows how a single interbody wire connecting two robots can support both integrated morphological reconfiguration and distributed wire‐mediated cooperation. When the robots dock, they reconfigure into different forms for locomotion and manipulation.

A reconfigurable robot platform

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 1999
Abstract In this paper, we present a reconfigurable robot platform based on OPEN-R, a standard for robot entertainment systems. Reconfigurability is attained by the use of the OPEN-R standard which enables a hot plug-in capability through a set of definitions for mechanical, electrical, and software interface protocols.

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), 2002
Docking 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 ...
