Programmable matter with self-reconfiguring robots
Proceedings of the 7th ACM international conference on Computing frontiers, 2010Programmable matter aims to bring machines and materials closer together. We wish to create smart materials whose properties can be programmed, or, alternatively, machines that look and feel more like materials. Programmable matter will be achieved when we will have the ability to create objects whose physical properties, for example shape, stiffness ...

How to make a self-reconfigurable robot run
Proceedings of the first international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems part 2 - AAMAS '02, 2002In this paper we present a multiagent based control algorithm for self-reconfigurable robots. These robots are robots made from a possibly large number of independent modules. In the proposed control algorithm all modules run identical programs, but may play different roles.

Modular ATRON: modules for a self-reconfigurable robot
2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005This paper describes the mechanical and electrical design of a new lattice based self-reconfigurable robot, called the ATRON. The ATRON system consists of several fully self-contained robot modules, each having their own processing power, power supply, sensors and actuators. The ATRON modules are roughly spheres with equatorial rotation.

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.

Self-reconfigurable robots for navigation and manipulation
1998Self-reconfigurable robots consist of a set of one or more identical autonomous modules that can adapt their shape and function to tasks. We describe a module that can function as a climbing robot, a manipulator, or a leg in a multi-legged walker. This module can make autonomous transitions between these states.

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 ...

A Self-reconfigurable Robot M-Lattice
2017Modular robotic systems consists of more than one modules that are homogeneous and this paper proposes a novel structure design of modular robots called M-Lattice, which stands out for its load-capacity and high efficiency in self-reconfiguration. Compressibility of M-Lattice is guaranteed by the topological structure and the amount of compression has ...

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 ...

Design of a self-reconfigurable wireless network system for modular self-reconfigurable robots
2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2012This paper presents a self-reconfigurable multi-hop wireless communication network system for the deformation control of the modular self-reconfigurable robots. The topology and scale of the network is changeable according to the different configuration of the modular robots.
