Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Self Reconfiguring Modular Robot Self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines that may take on a variety of shapes and configurations. They are also known as modular self-reconfiguring robotic systems. In addition to the conventional actuation, sensing, and control that are typically found in fixed-morphology robots, self-reconfiguring robots have the ability to deliberately change their own shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts. This enables them to adapt to new circumstances, perform new tasks, or recover from damage more quickly than fixed-morphology robots.

Download or read book Self reconfigurable Robots written by Kasper Stoy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive survey of the growing field of self-reconfigurable robots that discusses the history of the field, design considerations, and control strategies. Self-reconfigurable robots are constructed of robotic modules that can be connected in many different ways. These modules move in relationship to each other, which allows the robot as a whole to change shape. This shapeshifting makes it possible for the robots to adapt and optimize their shapes for different tasks. Thus, a self-reconfigurable robot can first assume the shape of a rolling track to cover distance quickly, then the shape of a snake to explore a narrow space, and finally the shape of a hexapod to carry an artifact back to the starting point. The field of self-reconfigurable robots has seen significant progress over the last twenty years, and this book collects and synthesizes existing research previously only available in widely scattered individual papers, offering an accessible guide to the latest information on self-reconfigurable robots for researchers and students interested in the field. Self-Reconfigurable Robots focuses on conveying the intuition behind the design and control of self-reconfigurable robots rather than technical details. Suggestions for further reading refer readers to the underlying sources of technical information. The book includes descriptions of existing robots and a brief history of the field; discussion of module design considerations, including module geometry, connector design, and computing and communication infrastructure; an in-depth presentation of strategies for controlling self-reconfiguration and locomotion; and exploration of future research challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modular reconfigurable robots were intensively studied. In particular, problems of planning of self-reconfiguration received considerable attention. Problems of reconfiguration planning play a central role for modular reconfigurable robots. Solutions for such problems lies at the heart of any control system of modular reconfigurable robots. Performance of such solutions is the base factor for the performance of the whole control system of modular reconfigurable robot. Recently, the optimal reconfiguration planning problem of finding the least number of reconfiguration steps to transform between two configurations for chain-type modular robots was introduced. It is preferred that the robot keeps connected throughout the reconfiguration process. Respectively, in this book we suppose that the robot keeps connected throughout the reconfiguration process. We describe an approach to solve the problem. Our approach is based on constructing logical models for considered problem. Also we consider genetic and local search algorithms for the problem. The book should be especially useful to professionals in modular robotics.

This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how the principle of self-sufficiency can be applied to a reconfigurable modular robotic organism. It shows the design considerations for a novel REPLICATOR robotic platform, both hardware and software, featuring the behavioral characteristics of social insect colonies. Following a comprehensive overview of some of the bio-inspired techniques already available, and of the state-of-the-art in re-configurable modular robotic systems, the book presents a novel power management system with fault-tolerant energy sharing, as well as its implementation in the REPLICATOR robotic modules. In addition, the book discusses, for the first time, the concept of “artificial energy homeostasis” in the context of a modular robotic organism, and shows its verification on a custom-designed simulation framework in different dynamic power distribution and fault tolerance scenarios. This book offers an ideal reference guide for both hardware engineers and software developers involved in the design and implementation of autonomous robotic systems.

Download or read book Robots and Lattice Automata written by Georgios Ch. Sirakoulis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-11 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book gives a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art research and engineering in theory and application of Lattice Automata in design and control of autonomous Robots. Automata and robots share the same notional meaning. Automata (originated from the latinization of the Greek word “αυτόματον”) as self-operating autonomous machines invented from ancient years can be easily considered the first steps of robotic-like efforts. Automata are mathematical models of Robots and also they are integral parts of robotic control systems. A Lattice Automaton is a regular array or a collective of finite state machines, or automata. The Automata update their states by the same rules depending on states of their immediate neighbours. In the context of this book, Lattice Automata are used in developing modular reconfigurable robotic systems, path planning and map exploration for robots, as robot controllers, synchronisation of robot collectives, robot vision, parallel robotic actuators. All chapters are written in an accessible manner and lavishly illustrated. The book will help computer and robotic scientists and engineers to understand mechanisms of decentralised functioning of robotic collectives and to design future and emergent reconfigurable, parallel and distributed robotic systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Uncorrected OCR) Abstract of thesis entitled "The Design of a Representation and Analysis Method for Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robots" by Albert W.Y. Ko Submitted to the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in November 2003 For modular self-reconfigurable (MSR) robots to successfully reconfigure from one shape into another, the control system (whether centralized or distributed) must have a clear idea of the robot's topological structure in order to perform motion planning. For this reason, the modules' docking status must be correctly ascertained before a self-reconfiguration. Although the type of information required to visualize the structure of a MSR robot differs with the physical design of the module, certain types of information, such as the docking orientation between two neighbouring modules and the availability of docking ports in the robot, will always be required. This thesis presents a representation method, based on Graph Theory, which uniquely represents the topological structure of a group of connected modules using labelled planar graphs and incidence matrices. The graph contains essential information for distributed reconfiguration analysis and motion planning, and information such as the orientations of the docked joints and docking ports involved in each joint can be obtained intuitively from the labelled graph. The 4 incidence matrix takes the information from the planar graph and represents it in a systematic manner which can be understood by the computers. This thesis also presents an innovative Hardware Orientation Detecting System (HODS) for detecting the orientation of a docked joint formed from two docking ports. The HODS uses a minimum number of simple tactile sensors to detect multi-orientation dockings. The method can be applied to all multi-orientation docking systems with a finite number of possi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is man’s ongoing hope that a machine could somehow adapt to its environment by reorganizing itself. This is what the notion of self-organizing robots is based on. The theme of this book is to examine the feasibility of creating such robots within the limitations of current mechanical engineering. The topics comprise the following aspects of such a pursuit: the philosophy of design of self-organizing mechanical systems; self-organization in biological systems; the history of self-organizing mechanical systems; a case study of a self-assembling/self-repairing system as an autonomous distributed system; a self-organizing robot that can create its own shape and robotic motion; implementation and instrumentation of self-organizing robots; and the future of self-organizing robots. All topics are illustrated with many up-to-date examples, including those from the authors’ own work. The book does not require advanced knowledge of mathematics to be understood, and will be of great benefit to students in the robotics discipline, including in the areas of mechanics, control, electronics, and computer science. It is also an important source for researchers who wish to investigate the field of robotics or who have an interest in the application of self-organizing phenomena.
