Htetran – A Polyabolo Inspired Self Reconfigurable Tiling Robot

2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2019
Research focuses on robots related to area coverage applications such as cleaning, painting, demining, lawn moving, and inspection is gaining significant momentum in recent years. The majority of such research platforms faces significant performance issues while accessing narrow and constrained spaces due to their fixed morphology. To this end, we have

Modular robotic tiles: experiments for children with autism

Artificial Life and Robotics, 2009
We developed a modular robotic tile and a system composed of a number of these modular robotic tiles. The system composed of the modular robotic tiles engages the user in physical activities, e.g., physiotherapy, sports, fitness, and entertainment.

Dexterous Ungrasping Manipulation in Three Dimensions

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation
This study focuses on the robotic capability of ungrasping, or releasing, an object in a grasp from the gripper to the robot's environment. The presented technique enables the delicate release of a grasped object using non-static contacts, allowing for ...

Position detection of an autonomous robot by aperiodic tilings

IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Sensing, Processing, Networking. IMTC Proceedings, 2002
We propose an aperiodic tiling suitable for a floor pattern to provide an autonomous robot with position information. The most direct approach to this problem would be to equip the robot with an optical sensor to detect and count its traversals across the lines of a rectangular grid painted on the floor.

Internal model control and direct synthesis control for a dynamically modeled h-tetro reconfigurable tiling robot

Engineering Research Express
In this paper, two control strategies have been proposed for a reconfigurable tiling robot. Internal Model Control (IMC) and Direct Synthesis (DS) based controllers have been designed and simulated for a four block tiling robot which is capable of ...

Robotic-assisted navigation with patient-specific implants vs. modified Stoppa and MIPPO in Tile C pelvic fractures: a multicenter cross-sectional observational study with osteoporosis subgroup analysis

Journal of Robotic Surgery
Tile C pelvic fractures present significant therapeutic challenges, especially in obese and osteoporotic patients, where traditional techniques (Modified Stoppa approach, minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis [MIPPO]) are limited by poor ...

3-Dimensional Tiling for Distributed Assembly by Robot Teams

2013
We consider the assembly of a three dimensional (3D) structure by a team of heterogeneous robots capable of online sensing and error correction during the assembly process. The automated assembly problem is posed as a general 3D tiling problem where the assembly components/tiles consist of various shapes and sizes.

HeROS: a miniaturised platform for research and development on Heterogeneous RObotic Systems

arXiv.org
Tests and prototyping are vital in the research and development of robotic systems. Work with target hardware is problematic. Hence, in the article, a low-cost, miniaturised physical platform is presented to deal with experiments on heterogeneous robotic
