A Self-Reconfiguration Framework for Multiprocessor CSoPCs
2004In this paper present a partial run-time reconfiguration framework focused on multiprocessor core-based systems implemented on FPGA technology. It is called Tornado, and it is composed of an infrastructure of signals, protocols, interfaces and controller to perform safe hardware/software reconfigurations.

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.

Motion synthesis for the self-reconfiguring molecule
Proceedings. 1998 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Innovations in Theory, Practice and Applications (Cat. No.98CH36190), 2002In this paper we present a geometric approach to specifying and planning the motion of robotic molecules on a substrate of molecules in O(n) time, where n is the number of molecules in the substrate. We describe a language for specifying the molecule motion.

Self-Reconfiguration Using Directed Growth
2008Self-reconfigurable robots are built from modules which are autonomously able to change the way they are connected, thus changing the overall shape of the robot. This process is difficult to control because it involves the distributed coordination of large numbers of identical modules connected in time-varying ways.

Parallel self-reconfiguration for MEMS microrobots
Eurocon 2013, 2013MEMS microrobots are low-power and low-memory capacity devices that can sense and act. One of the most difficult challenges in MEMS microrobot applications is the self-reconfiguration, especially when the efficiency, parallelism and the scalability of the algorithm are required. Self-reconfiguration with shared map does not scale.

Programmable matter with self-reconfiguring robots
Proceedings of the 7th ACM international conference on Computing frontiers, 2010Programmable matter aims to bring machines and materials closer together. We wish to create smart materials whose properties can be programmed, or, alternatively, machines that look and feel more like materials. Programmable matter will be achieved when we will have the ability to create objects whose physical properties, for example shape, stiffness ...

Self-reconfigurable Modular e-pucks
2012We present the design of a new structural extension for the e-puck mobile robot. The extension may be used to transform what is a swarm robotics platform into a self-reconfigurable modular robotic system. As a proof of concept, we present an algorithm for controlling the collective locomotion of a group of e-pucks that are equipped with the extension ...

Distributed Control in Self-reconfigurable Robots
2003This paper explores self-assembling artefacts using distributed control. General design methods for distributed self-assembling artefacts are described and a simulator is developed to simulate an existing robotic unit (M-TRAN) in a self-assembling context.

A three-dimensional self-reconfigurable system
Advanced Robotics, 1998A three-dimensional (3D) self-reconfigurable system made of identical units is proposed. Each unit has six arms on the surface of its base cube which can connect to neighboring units mechanically. By the connection, a cubic-lattice structure is formed. A unit can carry its neighbor unit from one node of the lattice to another by rotating its arm by 90°.

Self-reconfigurable RFID reader antenna
2017 IEEE International Conference on RFID (RFID), 2017This paper presents a self-reconfigurable switched beam RFID reader antenna concept and its experimental implementation. The specific antenna presented in this paper is a planar 2-element Yagi array with a parasitic element loaded with a self-oscillating switching circuit powered wirelessly, by the antenna signal itself. Once this reader antenna is fed
