Software architecture for modular self-reconfigurable robots [PDF]
Proceedings 2001 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Expanding the Societal Role of Robotics in the the Next Millennium (Cat. No.01CH37180), 2002 Modular, self-reconfigurable robots show the promise of great versatility, robustness and low cost. However, programming such robots for specific tasks, with hundreds of modules and each of which with multiple actuators and sensors, can be tedious and error-prone. The extreme versatility of the modular systems requires a new paradigm in programming. We

Motion Planning for a Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robot [PDF]
, 2007 This paper addresses motion planning of a homogeneous modular robotic system. The modules have self-reconfiguration capability so that a group of the modules can construct a robotic structure generating dynamic motion. Motion planning for self-reconfiguration is not straightforward because the modular structure allows many combinatorial configurations,
