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.

Review of the modular self reconfigurable robotic systems
2015 10th International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control (RoMoCo), 2015Modular Self-Reconfigurable robot (MSR) is a system composed of a group, connected together identical modules, resulting structure can carry out specific, even complicated tasks. Such design allows for easy reconfiguration of the robot and its structure in order to continuously adapt it to the current needs or tasks, without the use of additional tools.

Distributed behavior collaboration for self-reconfigurable robots
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004This paper describes a distributed and decentralized approach for modules in a self-reconfigurable robot to select appropriate behaviors based on four factors: the current global task, the local topological location in the current configuration, the local state/sensor information, and the received messages from their neighbors.

Emergent structures in modular self-reconfigurable robots
Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002We demonstrate how simple local sensing and control rules achieve useful emergent behaviors in modular self-reconfigurable (metamorphic) robots. Our biologically inspired approach grows structures with the desired functionality even though the final shapes have some unspecified random variation.

Hormone-based control for self-reconfigurable robots
Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Autonomous agents, 2000Self-reconfigurable or metamorphic robots can change their individual and collective shape and size to meet operational demands. Since these robots are constructed from a set of autonomous and connectable modules (or agents), controlling them is a challenging task.

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.
