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), 2004
Self 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.

Modular ATRON: modules for a self-reconfigurable robot

2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005
This 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.

A Self-reconfigurable Robot M-Lattice

2017
Modular 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, 2008
The 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), 2012
This 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.

Programming language abstractions for self-reconfigurable robots

Proceedings of the 3rd annual conference on Systems, programming, and applications: software for humanity, 2012
Self-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.

Emergent structures in modular self-reconfigurable robots

Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002
We 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, 2000
Self-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, 2002
Connectors 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.

Review of the modular self reconfigurable robotic systems

2015 10th International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control (RoMoCo), 2015
Modular 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.
