Evolutionary Algorithm-Based Complete Coverage Path Planning for Tetriamond Tiling Robots. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2020 Tiling robots with fixed morphology face major challenges in terms of covering the cleaning area and generating the optimal trajectory during navigation. Developing a self-reconfigurable autonomous robot is a probable solution to these issues, as it adapts various forms and accesses narrow spaces during navigation.

Mobile robot for automatic installation of floor tiles [PDF]
Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002 This paper describes the configuration of a floor-tile installation robot for commercial buildings. The research is motivated by the need to reduce the installation time and cost while guaranteeing consistent quality. In order to compete with human installation, a time of 24 seconds per installed tile has to be matched.

Tiled Auxetic Cylinders for Soft Robots [PDF]
2019 2nd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2019 Compliant structures allow robots to overcome environmental challenges by deforming and conforming their bodies. In this paper, we investigate auxetic structures as a means of achieving this compliance for soft robots. Taking a tiling based approach, we fabricate 3D printed cylindrical auxetic structures to create tiled auxetic cylinders (TACs).
