3D Printed Meter-Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load-Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

RWD-DOF: a dual-degree-of-freedom reconfigurable wheel design for improved robotic mobility [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Wheeled mobile robots are efficient on flat surfaces but face limitations in overcoming obstacles like steps due to their fixed wheel radius. This paper presents a novel modular reconfigurable wheel with a dual-degree-of-freedom active reconfigurable ...

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 Engineering
Abstract 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

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 ...
