Computer-assisted robotic tiling of mosaics
Robotica, 2004 This paper describes the development of a system that is capable of tiling mosaics using a robot according to requirements of the individual customer. The art of mosaic, in one form or another, has been practiced manually for thousands of years. Modern developments in materials and production techniques could be found as evidence that mosaic is very ...

A metaheuristic approach to optimal morphology in reconfigurable tiling robots
Complex & Intelligent Systems, 2023 AbstractReconfigurable robots are suitable for cleaning applications due to their high flexibility and ability to change shape according to environmental needs. However, continuous change in morphology is not an energy-efficient approach, with the limited battery capacity.
