Design of a Self-Reconfigurable Drain Mapping Robot With Level-Shifting Capability
IEEE Access, 2020 Nature has always been an inspiration for engineers and designers to have technological inventions. The postures, locomotion and gait cycles of animals are usually smooth, dynamically stable, and highly adaptable in an unknown terrain. Based on a giraffe'

Design of Self-Reconfigurable Multiarm Robot Mechanism Based on Deployable Kinematic Chains
Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2020 As the structures of multiarm robots are serially arranged, the packaging and transportation of these robots are often inconvenient. The ability of these robots to operate objects must also be improved.

Design and Implementation of a Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robot
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2014 This paper presents the design and implementation of a new modular self-reconfigurable robot. The single module has three joints and can perform rectilinear motion, lateral shift, lateral rolling, and rotation. A flexible pin-hole-based docking mechanism

Roles and Self-Reconfigurable Robots [PDF]
, 2007 A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape.Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that canmanipulate each other to change the shape of the robot. The robot can also perform taskssuch as locomotion without changing shape.

Reconfiguration of 3D Crystalline Robots Using O(log n) Parallel Moves
, 2009 We consider the theoretical model of Crystalline robots, which have been introduced and prototyped by the robotics community. These robots consist of independently manipulable unit-square atoms that can extend/contract arms on each side and attach/detach
