Automatic Configuration Recognition Methods in Modular Robots
Recognizing useful modular robot configurations composed of hundreds of modules is a significant challenge. Matching a new modular robot configuration to a library of known configurations is essential in identifying and applying control schemes. We present three different algorithms to address the problem of (a) matching and (b) mapping new robot configurations onto a library of known configura...
متن کاملSpanning Tree Partitioning Approach for Configuration Generation in Modular Robots
We consider the problem of configuration generation in modular self-reconfigurable robots, where a set of modules that are in a certain configuration are required to form a new configuration while remaining within the size, battery and communication constraints. This problem is computationally non-trivial as the set of possible configurations grows exponentially with the number of modules. We p...
متن کاملAutomatic locomotion pattern generation for modular robots
Locomotion, one of the most basic robotic functions, has been widely studied for several types of robots. As for self-reconfigurable modular robots, there are two types of locomotion; one type is realized as a series of self-reconfiguration and the other is realized as a whole body motion such as walking and crawling. Even for the latter type of locomotion, designing control method is more diff...
متن کاملTask-based configuration design for 3-legged modular parallel robots using simplex methods
This paper presents a methodology for optimal design of 6-DOF modular parallel manipulators. In type synthesis, a general methodology is presented to choose a type of configuration using a look-up table. This table, constructed based on the experience and knowledge in the database, gives suitable robot configurations for different types of tasks. In dimensional synthesis, actuation scheme along...
متن کاملDistributed Goal Recognition Algorithms for Modular Robots
Modular robots are systems composed of a number of independent units that can be reconfigured to fit the task at hand. When the modules are computationally independent, they form a large distributed system with no central controller. In this paper, we are concerned with the ability of such modular robots to easily recognize the achievement (or lack thereof) of a given goal configuration. We pre...
