IEEE Robotics & 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.

Xanthus: Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robot
Proceedings of the 20th Florida Conference on Recent Advances in Robotics, 2023Second generation self-reconfigurable modular robotic system Xanthus developed at FIU is presented in this paper. The robot is capable of self-reconfiguring its mechanical structure for efficient walking and crawling as the previous version. In addition, the current version is able to reconfigure and roll conforming to the terrain.

Self-reconfiguring Modular Robot
2008 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics, 2008The paper presents the development of an autonomous modular robotic chain, with self-reconfiguring skills and able to perform creeping/walking motion. The module design is presented, as well its kinematics and control system. Some movement strategies are analyzed and, for the best one, the robot model is determined, in order to evaluate its worm-like ...

Modular Self Reconfigurable Robotic Systems
Advanced Science, Engineering and Medicine, 2020Modular Self-Reconfigurable robot (MSR) is a combinational system of independent and identical robotic modules. An MSR can further reconstitute itself out of the identical building units for adaptability to task-oriented functions and changing environment. An overview of the taxonomy related to the building of MSR modules has been discussed.

IEEE Intelligent Systems, 1998
At the Dartmouth Robotics Laboratory, we have a vision of the future: a modular robot that can assume a snake shape to traverse a tunnel, reconfigure upon exiting as a six-legged robot to traverse rough terrain, and change shape and gait to climb stairs and enter a building.

Stochastic self-reconfigurable cellular robotics
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004Implementations of self-reconfigurable robotics rearrange modules through a planned, deterministic reconfiguration path. Reconfiguration is achieved using active module locomotion or manipulation. Here we propose a form of self-reconfigurable robotics based on passive, stochastic self-organization.

Self-reconfigurable Robots with ATRON Modules
2005We developed a new robotic systems that can change morphology. The system is made of ATRON modules, which are individually simple, attach through physical connections, and perform 3D motions by collective actions. We produced 100 ATRON modules, and performed both simulation and real world experiments.

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), 2002Docking 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 ...

Self-reconfigurable robots topodynamic
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004Modules connected to each other form a network. So, a modular robot is a module network. In the case of reconfigurable robots, the topology of this network evolves. We propose to ground the study of self-reconfigurable robots in a framework inspired by graph theory and cellular automata.
