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.

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.

Self-reconfiguring Modular Robot
2008 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics, 2008The 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 ...

A multiprocessor self-reconfigurable JPEG2000 encoder
2009 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel & Distributed Processing, 2009This paper presents a multiprocessor architecture prototype on a Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) with support for hardware and software multithreading. Thanks to partial dynamic reconfiguration, this system can, at run time, spawn both software and hardware threads, sharing not only the general purpose soft-cores present in the architecture but ...

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.

Self-Reconfigurable Wireless Mesh Networks
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 2011During their lifetime, multihop wireless mesh networks (WMNs) experience frequent link failures caused by channel interference, dynamic obstacles, and/or applications' bandwidth demands. These failures cause severe performance degradation in WMNs or require expensive manual network management for their real-time recovery.
