Accomplishing High-Level Tasks with Modular Robots
, 2018 The advantage of modular self-reconfigurable robot systems is their flexibility, but this advantage can only be realized if appropriate configurations (shapes) and behaviors (controlling programs) can be selected for a given task.

Path Planning for Reconfigurable Rovers in Planetary Exploration [PDF]
, 2017 This paper introduces a path planning algorithm that takes into consideration different locomotion modes in a wheeled reconfigurable rover. Power consumption and traction are estimated by means of simplified dynamics models for each locomotion mode ...

A characterization of the reconfiguration space of self-reconfiguring robotic systems [PDF]
Robotica, 2011 SUMMARYMotion planning for self-reconfiguring robots can be made efficient by exploiting potential reductions to suitably large subspaces. However, there are no general techniques for identifying suitable restrictions that have a positive effect on planning efficiency.

Self-tuning run-time reconfigurable PID controller [PDF]
, 2011 Digital PID control algorithm is one of the most commonly used algorithms in the control systems area. This algorithm is very well known, it is simple, easily implementable in the computer control systems and most of all its operation is very predictable.

A Proposal for a Multi-Drive Heterogeneous Modular Pipe- Inspection Micro-Robot
, 2008 This paper presents the architecture used to develop a micro-robot for narrow pipes inspection. Both the electromechanical design and the control scheme will be described. In pipe environments it is very useful to have a method to retrieve information of

How to Deploy a Wire with a Robotic Platform: Learning from Human Visual Demonstrations [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper, we address the problem of deploying a wire along a specific path selected by an unskilled user. The robot has to learn the selected path and pass a wire through the peg table by using the same tool. The main contribution regards the hybrid
