Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robot
We have proposed a self-reconfigurable robotic module, which has a very simple structure. The system is capable of not only building static structure but generating dynamic robotic motion. We also developed a simulator for motion planning. In this paper, we present details of the mechanical / electrical design of the developed module and its control system architecture. Experiments using ten mo...
متن کاملDesign of a Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robot
In this paper we examine the development of modular self-reconfigurable robots. A survey of existing modular robots is given. Some limitations of homogeneous designs and connection mechanisms are discussed. Therefore, we propose a heterogeneous self-reconfigurable robot with genderless, fail-safe connecting mechanisms. We initially design three basic types (joint, power and special units) of mo...
متن کاملA motion planning method for a self-reconfigurable modular robot
This paper addresses motion planning of a homogeneous modular robotic system. The modules have selfreconfiguration capability so that a group of the modules can construct a robotic structure. Motion planning for selfreconfiguration is a kind of computationally difficult problem because of many combinatorial possibilities of modular configuration and the restricted degrees of freedom of the modu...
متن کاملMotion Planning for a Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robot
This paper addresses motion planning of a homogeneous modular robotic system. The modules have self-reconfiguration capability so that a group of the modules can construct a robotic structure generating dynamic motion. Motion planning for self-reconfiguration is not straightforward because the modular structure allows many combinatorial configurations, and also the proposed module has only two ...
متن کاملA New Concept for Reconfigurable Planar Motion Generators
This paper presents a novel concept for Reconfigurable Motion Generators (RMGs) for multi-phase planar motion generation. Reconfigurable Motion Generators are a new class of mechanical devices that are designed for a specific part family and their associated motion generation tasks. Reconfigurable Motion Generators are capable of configuration changes according to variations in the motion gener...
