Roombots: Reconfigurable Robots for Adaptive Furniture [PDF]
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 ...

A New Self-Reconfiguration Wave-like Crawling Robot: Design, Analysis, and Experiments
Traditional mobile robots with fixed structures lack the ability to cope with complex terrains and tasks. Reconfigurable modular mobile robots have received considerable attention as they can automatically reassemble according to the changing environment

Adaptive and extreme changes in shape and configuration are the functional and morphological uniqueness of soft robots, but existing design approaches still rely on the predefined coordination of their “muscle” and “nerve” functions to produce such ...

Nested Reconfigurable Robots: Theory, Design, and Realization
Rather than the conventional classification method, we propose to divide modular and reconfigurable robots into intra-, inter-, and nested reconfigurations.

Reconfigurable Soft Robots by Building Blocks
Soft robots are of increasing interest as they can cope with challenges that are poorly addressed by conventional rigid‐body robots (e.g., limited flexibility).

Milli-scale cellular robots that can reconfigure morphologies and behaviors simultaneously
Modular robots with reconfigurable architectures show advantages in unpredicted environments. Here Yang et al. propose a heterogeneous assembly concept for cellular robot construction at millimeter scales, which can simultaneously reconfigure their ...

Enabling robustness to failure with modular field robots
Actuator failure on a remotely deployed robot results in decreased efficiency or even renders it inoperable. Robustness to these failures will become critical as robots are required to be more independent and operate out of the range of repair.
