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.

Towards on-site autonomous robotic floor tiling of mosaics

2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014), 2014
Humanoid robots have been a central research topic of robotics for the last 30 years. However, it has not been until the last decade that humanoids became a viable commercial product. While not full scale, robots such as NAO provide a large range of motion with multiple sensors for the environment.

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.

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.

Adaptive Visual Control of a Robot Arm Using Tiled Space

1988
Suppose that we have a robot consisting of an arm with several joints and a hand. There is also an object, or target, which we want the hand to locate. We have a visual subsystem consisting of one or more cameras whose field of view contains both the hand and the target.

NoodlePrint: Cooperative Multi-Robot Additive Manufacturing With Helically Interlocked Tiles

Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering
Abstract We present NoodlePrint, a generalized computational framework for maximally concurrent layer-wise cooperative 3D printing (C3DP) of arbitrary part geometries with multiple robots. NoodlePrint is inspired by a recently discovered set of helically interlocked space-filling shapes called VoroNoodles.
