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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to develop a method for the reconfiguration of three-dimensional modular robots. A modular robot is composed of simple individual building blocks or modules. Each of these modules needs to be controlled and actuated individually in order to make the robot perform useful tasks. The presented method allows us to reconfigure arbitrary initial configurations of modules into any pre-specified target configuration by using graph grammar rules that rely on local information only. Local in a sense that each module needs just information from neighboring modules in order to decide its next reconfiguration step. The advantage of this approach is that the modules do not need global knowledge about the whole configuration. We propose a two stage reconfiguration process composed of a centralized planning stage and a decentralized, rule-based reconfiguration stage. In the first stage, paths are planned for each module and then rewritten into a ruleset, also called a graph grammar. Global knowledge about the configuration is available to the planner. In stage two, these rules are applied in a decentralized fashion by each node individually and with local knowledge only. Each module can check the ruleset for applicable rules in parallel. This approach has been implemented in Matlab and currently, we are able to generate rulesets for arbitrary homogeneous input configurations.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modular reconfiguration robot has the ability of changing its configuration which makes it more suitable for complex environments. In contrast to conventional theoretical research, the project introduced in this paper successfully completes the following innovative work. a) It proposes a robot named JL-I which is based on a modular reconfiguration concept. The advantages and the characteristics of the mechanism are analysed. The robot features a docking mechanism with which the modules can connect or disconnect flexibly. The active spherical joints formed by serial and parallel mechanisms endow the robot with the ability of changing shapes in three dimensions. b) A kinematics model of reconfiguration between two modules is given. The relationship of the world coordinate and the reference joint coordinate is concluded. Furthermore, the movements can be anticipated according to the joints' driving outputs. The analysed results are important for system design and the design of the controlling mechanism for the robot. c) Experimental tests have shown that the JL-I can implement a series of various locomotion capabilities such as 90? recovery, 180? recovery, and crossing steps. This implies the mechanical feasibility, the rationality of the analysis and the outstanding movement adaptability of the robot. The future research will focus on the following aspects. a) Developing a new docking mechanism which tolerates larger offset in rugged terrain and can be used as a simple manipulator; b) Developing a more reliable track modules with shock absorption function; c) Developing a new mechanism which can actively undock a disable robot module.

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: (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.
