چکیده

Different methods for simulating magnetic forces in Gazebo are analyzed. The most reliable approach is to link bodies connected by magnetic forces through the use of joints. Linking the bodies together through joints allows the entire structure to behave as one body, without the unexpected problems encountered in other methods of simulation. The ability to reliably identify and grasp simulated modular robotic components is also examined.

Error Recovery by the Use of Sensory Feedback and Reference Measurements for Robotic Assembly

Industrial robots need instrument or parts transport to do which requires coordinate to show the robot’s instrument, parts and body. When investigating the robot location, we are usually interested in measuring its location relative to a reference coordinate system. In this system it is attempted to make the assemble direction smaller by designing the sensor board and making use of an instrumen...

Self-assembly Planning of a Shape by Regular Modular Robots

We present a self-assembly planning algorithm to allow regular modular robots to assemble into some specified shapes. By tiling a shape using connected lattices in accordance with the robotic geometry, a parallel sequence is obtained to plan self-assembly in successive layers. Robots are identical and autonomous. They use local interactions to seek for a grown shape and update the connection in...

Kilobot: A Robotic Module for Demonstrating Behaviors in a Large Scale (\(2^{10}\) Units) Collective

A collective of robots can together complete a task that is beyond the capabilities of any of its individual robots. One property of a robotic collective that allows it to complete such a task is the shape of the collective. This paper presents Kilobot, a simple modular robot designed to work in a collective to self-assemble and self-heal that collective’s shape. In previous work, an algorithm ...

Synthesizing Rulesets for Programmable Robotic Self-assembly: A Case Study Using Floating Miniaturized Robots

Programmable stochastic self-assembly of modular robots provides promising means to formation of structures at different scales. Formalisms based on graph grammars and rule-based approaches have been previously published for controlling the self-assembly process. While several rule-synthesis algorithms have been proposed, formal synthesis of rulesets has only been shown for self-assembly of abs...
