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.

Self-reconfigurable planar parallel robot
2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005This paper proposes a novel self-reconfigurable parallel robot which is capable of self-reconfiguring to other various types of planar parallel robots on a horizontal plane. The limbs (legs) of the proposed parallel robot are 2R (two-revolute-joint) open kinematic chains whose second joints are unactuated.

Configuration Matching in Self-reconfigurable Process of Modular Self-reconfigurable Robots
2006 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2006It's an important step to find out the best matching scheme in the self-reconfiguring process of self-reconfigurable robots. In this paper, some relative concepts of self-reconfigurable robot and its topological representation and configuration matching are defined, and a matching arithmetic is designed and tested by genetic arithmetic.

ATRON Robots: Versatility from Self-Reconfigurable Modules
2007 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2007Traditional fixed morphology robots are limited to purely functional adaptation and thereby to a limited range of applications. In contrast modular self-reconfigurable robots can dynamically and autonomously change both their function and morphology to meet new demands of changing tasks.

Connectors for self-reconfiguring robots
IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2002Connectors for self-reconfiguring robots are difficult to design because of the wide range of requirements. We describe the DRAGON connector, whose most distinctive features are its ability to self-align and its strength-to-weight ratio. It weighs 170 g, but holds over 70-kg load.
