IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2007
In this article, the concept of a cellular robot that is capable of reconfiguring itself is reviewed. This "self-reconfigurable (SR) robot" exemplifies a new trend in robotics, indeed, we can now build various kinds of SR robots with off-the-shelf technologies of processors, actuators, and sensors.

Robust and reversible self-reconfiguration
2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2009Modular, self-reconfigurable robots are robots that can change their own shape by physically rearranging the modules from which they are built. Self-reconfiguration can be controlled by e.g. an off-line planner, but numerous implementation issues hamper the actual self-reconfiguration process: the continuous evolution of the communication topology ...

Self-Reconfigurable Smart Camera Networks
Computer, 2014Camera networks that reconfigure while performing multiple tasks have unique requirements, such as concurrent task allocation with limited resources, the sharing of data among fields of view across the network, and coordination among heterogeneous devices.

Self-reconfiguring Soft Modular Cellbots
2023 IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2023In nature, cells combine into different structures to perform required tasks and can break and rejoin to make smaller and larger organisms. Taking inspiration from cells, we present an adaptive soft robot composed of simple modular elements (cells) in a linear arrangement, joined together by magnets, capable of performing locomotion by exploiting ...

Configuration Matching in Self-reconfigurable Process of Modular Self-reconfigurable Robots
2006 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2006It's an important step to find out the best matching scheme in the self-reconfiguring process of self-reconfigurable robots. In this paper, some relative concepts of self-reconfigurable robot and its topological representation and configuration matching are defined, and a matching arithmetic is designed and tested by genetic arithmetic. Testing results

A self-reconfigurable processor
[1993] Proceedings IEEE Workshop on FPGAs for Custom Computing Machines, 2002Recent developments in the design and fabrication of field programmable logic devices (FPGAs) may well change the way in which one designs and fabricates conventional microprocessors. The use of uncommitted logic whose function may be modified at run time makes the prospect of dynamic application specific integrated circuits closer to reality than ever

IEEE Intelligent Systems, 1998
At the Dartmouth Robotics Laboratory, we have a vision of the future: a modular robot that can assume a snake shape to traverse a tunnel, reconfigure upon exiting as a six-legged robot to traverse rough terrain, and change shape and gait to climb stairs and enter a building.
