Configuration Matching in Self-reconfigurable Process of Modular Self-reconfigurable Robots

2006 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2006
It'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 multiprocessor self-reconfigurable JPEG2000 encoder

2009 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel & Distributed Processing, 2009
This 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 ...

A self-reconfigurable processor

[1993] Proceedings IEEE Workshop on FPGAs for Custom Computing Machines, 2002
Recent 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

Self-reconfigurable robots topodynamic

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
Modules 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.

A Self-Reconfigurable Gate Array Architecture

2000
This 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.

Stochastic self-reconfigurable cellular robotics

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
Implementations of self-reconfigurable robotics rearrange modules through a planned, deterministic reconfiguration path. Reconfiguration is achieved using active module locomotion or manipulation. Here we propose a form of self-reconfigurable robotics based on passive, stochastic self-organization.

Self-reconfigurable Robots with ATRON Modules

2005
We 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.

A self-reconfigurable dual-arm system

Proceedings. 1991 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
An approach to a self-reconfigurable manipulator system which dynamically changes its topology according to given task requirements is presented. The proposed self-reconfiguration differs from that of conventional reconfigurable robots, in that it does not need to replace and reassemble modularized links to build a robot of desirable mechanical ...

Self-Reconfigurable Wireless Mesh Networks

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 2011
During 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.

A Self-Reconfigurable Multimedia Player on FPGA

2006 IEEE International Conference on Reconfigurable Computing and FPGA's (ReConFig 2006), 2006
With the hype of multimedia devices, many different audio and video formats have appeared in recent years. The sales of portable multimedia players like Apple's Ipod have also experiment and incredible growth. These devices are usually based on general purpose microprocessors and, when a new audio or video format appears, a software upgrade is needed ...
