Self-reconfigurable robots

IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine, 2007
In this article, the concept of a cellular robot that is capable of reconfiguring itself is reviewed. This "self-reconfigurable (SR) robot" exemplifies a new trend in robotics, indeed, we can now build various kinds of SR robots with off-the-shelf technologies of processors, actuators, and sensors.

Modular Reconfigurable Robots

Mechanisms and Machine Science, 2018
In this paper, the authors present hexagonal and parallelepipedic modules used for reconfigurable mobile robots. These modules are equipped with types of wheels like the classic and omnidirectional type. By combining these modules the authors achieve multiple types of constructive solutions of wheeled mobile robots.

A reconfigurable spherical robot

2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2011
This paper presents a reconfigurable spherical robot. The reconfigurable spherical robot can be reconfigured into a form of two interconnected hemispheres with three legs equipped with three omni-directional wheels. A stable reconfiguration control algorithm is constructed to change the robot from spherical shape to two halves of interconnected ...

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.

Reconfiguration of Autonomous Robotics

International Journal of Robotics Applications and Technologies, 2015
Autonomous robotics systems (ARSs) consist of multiple heterogeneous objects and intelligent inferences that are expected to take appropriate actions even in unforeseen circumstances. Dynamic reconfiguration of ARSs is a key enabling technology and plays a major role in the future cyber-enabled battle field.

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 ...
