A Novel Docking System for Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robots

open access: yesRobotics, 2017
Existing self-reconfigurable robots achieve connections and disconnections by a separate drive of the docking system. In this paper, we present a new docking system with which the connections and disconnections are driven by locomotion actuators, without

A Framework for Taxonomy and Evaluation of Self-Reconfigurable Robotic Systems

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Self-reconfigurable robots have been proposed for a quite long period and in large numbers. However, there are very few systematic methodologies proposed to categorize and evaluate such kinds of robots.

Self-Reconfigurable Robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A distributed reconfigurable micro-robotic system is a collection of unlimited numbers of distributed small, homogeneous robots designed to autonomously organize and reorganize in order to achieve mission-specified geometric shapes and functions. This project investigated the design, control, and planning issues for self-configuring and self-organizing
