Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes. [PDF]
Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...

A metaheuristic approach to optimal morphology in reconfigurable tiling robots
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.

Modeling and Analysis of the Cleaning System of a Reconfigurable Tiling Robot [PDF]
Cleaning robots have been gaining traction amongst various industries globally, with domestic floor cleaning robots being the most widespread. These robots usually employ brushes with a vacuum unit for dry cleaning purposes. For a self-reconfigurable tiling-based floor cleaning robot, hTetro, a modular sweeping module was developed. This robot consists

We exhibit a subset of a finite Abelian group, which tiles the group by translation, and such that its tiling complements do not have a common spectrum (orthogonal basis for their L-2 space consisting of group characters).

Computer-assisted robotic tiling of mosaics
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 ...

Complexity of Tiling a Polygon with Trominoes or Bars [PDF]
We study the computational hardness of the tiling puzzle with polyominoes, where a polyomino is a rectilinear polygon (i.e., a polygon made by connecting unit squares.) In the tiling problem, we are given a rectilinear polygon P and a set S of ...
