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.

A self-reconfigurable camera array
ACM SIGGRAPH 2004 Sketches on - SIGGRAPH '04, 2004This paper presents a self-reconfigurable camera array system that captures video sequences from an array of mobile cameras, renders novel views on the fly and reconfigures the camera positions to achieve better rendering quality. The system is composed of 48 cameras mounted on mobile platforms. The contribution of this paper is twofold.

Docking in self-reconfigurable robots
Proceedings 2001 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Expanding the Societal Role of Robotics in the the Next Millennium (Cat. No.01CH37180), 2002Docking is a crucial action for self-reconfigurable robots because it supports almost all practical advantages of such robots. In addition to the classic docking challenges found in other applications, such as reliable dock/latch mechanics, effective guiding systems, and intelligent control protocols, docking in self-reconfigurable robots is also ...

Self-reconfiguration of a speckle pattern
Optics Letters, 2014It is well known that coherent Bessel beam, a nondiffracting class of beam, possesses the ability of self-reconstructing or self-healing in the presence of obstacles. Here, we generated partially coherent Bessel and Gaussian beams using a spatial light modulator and studied the speckle pattern intensity in propagation after some speckles were blocked ...

A self-reconfiguring platform is reported that enables an FPGA to dynamically reconfigure itself under the control of an embedded microprocessor. This platform has been implemented on Xilinx Virtex IItm and Virtex II Protm devices. The platform’s hardware architecture has been designed to be lightweight.

Design of a self-reconfigurable wireless network system for modular self-reconfigurable robots
2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2012This 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.

A Self-Reconfigurable Implementation of the JPEG Encoder
2007 IEEE International Conf. on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP), 2007Dynamic reconfiguration allows to selectively substitute blocks of logic at run-time in order to improve the area efficiency of a FPGA design. This paper presents the design of a JPEG Encoder which exploits this feature. We propose a mixed HW/SW architecture, where most compute-intensive components of the application are mapped to application-specific ...

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 ...

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.
