Self - Reconfigurable Robots ― Cellular robots that transform their shapes ―
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, we review the concept of a cellular robot that is capable of reconfiguring itself. This “Self-Reconfigurable (SR) Robot” exemplifies a new trend in robotics. Indeed, we can now build various kinds of SR robots by off-the-shelf technologies of processors, actuators, and sensors. These SR robots, based on modern mechatronics, are still not as adaptable as the liquid metal robot in “The Terminator II”, but are just as flexible as any conventional robots.

متن کاملSelf-Assembling Robots
One of the grand challenges of robotics is the design of robots that are adaptive and self-sufficient. This can be crucial for robots exposed to environments that are unstructured (in space and time) or not easily accessible for a human operator, such as the inside of a blood vessel, a collapsed building, the deep sea, or the surface of another planet.Modular reconfigurable robots are among the...
