The self-reconfiguring robotic molecule [PDF]
Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.98CH36146), 2002 We discuss a robotic module called a molecule. Molecules can be the basis for building self-reconfiguring robots. They support multiple modalities of locomotion and manipulation. We describe the design, functionality, and control of the molecule. We show how a set of molecules can aggregate as active three-dimensional structures that can move and ...

Multiband Switchable Microwave Absorbing Metamaterials Based on Reconfigurable Kirigami–Origami
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A reconfigurable metamaterial featuring tunable microwave‐absorbing and load‐bearing performance is proposed. Stretchable kirigami and bistable origami configurations are integrated as actuating components, and the synergistic deformation mechanisms are systematically analyzed.

An Architecture for Requirements-Driven Self-reconfiguration [PDF]
, 2009 Self-reconfiguration is the capability of a system to autonomously switch from one configuration to a better one in response to failure or context change. There is growing demand for software systems able to self-reconfigure, and specifically systems that can fulfill their requirements in dynamic environments.

Accomplishing High-Level Tasks with Modular Robots
, 2018 The advantage of modular self-reconfigurable robot systems is their flexibility, but this advantage can only be realized if appropriate configurations (shapes) and behaviors (controlling programs) can be selected for a given task.
