Reconnectable joints for 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), 2002Self-reconfigurable robots are modular robots that can dynamically and intelligently reconfigure their shape and size to accomplish difficult missions. To build such robots, however, a number of technical challenges must be overcome. One critical problem is the design and implementation of the reconnectable joints (also called connectors), which allows

Distributed systems of self-reconfiguring robots
ACM SIGGRAPH 2002 conference abstracts and applications, 2002A robot designed for a single purpose can perform a specific task very well, but it may perform poorly on a different task, or in a different environment. This is acceptable if the environment is structured; however, if the task is in an unknown environment, then a robot with the ability to change shape to suit the environment and the required ...

Programming language abstractions for self-reconfigurable robots
Proceedings of the 3rd annual conference on Systems, programming, and applications: software for humanity, 2012Self-reconfigurable, modular robots are distributed mechatronic devices that can change their physical shape; modules are programmed individually but must coordinate across the robot. We present dynamic distributed scope as a programming language abstraction for modular robots, and show how it provides a unified abstraction for the domain.

Modular Robot with Self-Reconfigurable Capabilities
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014The paper presents a modular robot, designed for reconfiguring, in order to achieve both walking and crawling motion. Each module has 2 DOFs (rotations). Six modules can be connected to form a four-legged structure or an open chain. The robot has self-reconfiguring skills and is able to perform creeping/walking motion.

Requirement to standardise self reconfigurable robotics
Proceedings 2003 IEEE International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation. Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation for the New Millennium (Cat. No.03EX694), 2004Self reconfigurable robots are built on a set of elementary modules. Actually the different works in this field are not compatible. This can be seen as a useless dispersion. We propose here an analysis of the conditions that are necessary to give to this field some common rules to build component that could "easily" work together.

Morphogenetic Self-Reconfiguration of Modular Robots
2011It is still a challenging problem to self-reconfigure modular robots to different morphologies to adapt to dynamic environments. To tackle this problem, a new computational framework inspired from biological morphogenesis is suggested in this chapter. First, we introduce two reconfigurable modular robots, Cross-Cube and Cross-Ball, which are developed ...
