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.

Self-reconfigurable robots topodynamic
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004Modules connected to each other form a network. So, a modular robot is a module network. In the case of reconfigurable robots, the topology of this network evolves. We propose to ground the study of self-reconfigurable robots in a framework inspired by graph theory and cellular automata.

Genetic Programming Using Self-Reconfigurable FPGAs
1999This paper presents a novel approach that utilizes FPGA self-reconfiguration for efficient computation in the context of Genetic Programming (GP). GP involves evolving programs represented as trees and evaluating their fitness, the latter operation consuming most of the time.

A Self-Reconfigurable Gate Array Architecture
2000This paper presents an innovative architecture for a reconfigurable device that allows single cycle context switching and single cycle random access to the unified on-chip configuration/data memory. These two features are necessary for efficient self-reconfiguration and are useful in general as well--no other device offers both features.

Self-reconfigurable Robots with ATRON Modules
2005We developed a new robotic systems that can change morphology. The system is made of ATRON modules, which are individually simple, attach through physical connections, and perform 3D motions by collective actions. We produced 100 ATRON modules, and performed both simulation and real world experiments.
