Evolving Simulated Modular Robots
We evolved virtual modular robots for locomotion using a direct and a generative encoding. An important benefit of modular robots in evolutionary robotics is the ability to quickly evaluate various morphologies and control systems in reality. Our use of a modular approach to construct robot morphologies is thus geared towards enabling us to construct robots in reality. However, our approach can...
متن کاملModular Self-Reconfigurable Robots
Bonding mechanism A mechanism that allows modules to attach to other modules. Self-reconfigurable modules have the ability to selectively make and break attachments to other modules. Configuration The connectivity arrangement of modules in a system which describes which modules is physically attached and adjacent to which. Configuration recognition The process of automatically determining a mod...
متن کاملDeclarative Programming for Modular Robots
Because of the timing, complexity, and asynchronicity challenges common in modular robot software we have recently begun to explore new programming models for modular robot ensembles. In this paper we apply two of those models to a metamodule-based shape planning algorithm and comment on the differences between the two approaches. Our results suggest that declarative programming can provide sev...
متن کاملHierarchical Learning for Modular Robots
We argue that hierarchical methods can become the key for modular robots achieving reconfigurability. We present a hierarchical approach for modular robots that allows a robot to simultaneously learn multiple tasks. Our evaluation results present an environment composed of two different modular robot configurations, namely 3 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) and 4DoF with two corresponding targets. Duri...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Stochastic Reconfiguration of Modular Robots
Here we introduce one simulated and two physical three-dimensional stochastic modular robot systems, all capable of self-assembly and self-reconfiguration. We assume that individual units can only draw power when attached to the growing structure, and have no means of actuation. Instead they are subject to random motion induced by the surrounding medium when unattached. We present a simulation ...
