Realistic Reconfiguration of Crystalline (and Telecube) Robots [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper we propose novel algorithms for reconfiguring modular robots that are composed of n atoms. Each atom has the shape of a unit cube and can expand/contract each face by half a unit, as well as attach to or detach from faces of neighboring atoms. For universal reconfiguration, atoms must be arranged in 2 x 2 x 2 modules.

Roombots: Reconfigurable Robots for Adaptive Furniture [PDF]
IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine, 2010 Imagine a world in which our furniture moves around like legged robots, interacts with us, and changes shape and function during the day according to our needs. This is the long term vision we have in the Roombots project. To work towards this dream, we are developing modular robotic modules that have rotational degrees of freedom for locomotion as ...
