Modular Reconfigurable Robotics

Jamie Paik

This article reviews the current state of the art in the development of modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) systems and suggests promising future research directions. A wide variety of MRR systems have been presented to date, and these robots promise to be ...

Joining high-level symbolic planning with low-level motion primitives in adaptive HRI: application to dressing assistance

Sylvain Calinon, Emmanuel Pignat

For a safe and successful daily living assistance, far from the highly controlled environment of a factory, robots should be able to adapt to ever-changing situations. Programming such a robot is a tedious process that requires expert knowledge. An alterna ...

Towards Agility: Definition, Benchmark and Design Considerations for Small, Quadrupedal Robots

Peter Eckert

Agile quadrupedal locomotion in animals and robots is yet to be fully understood, quantified or achieved. An intuitive notion of agility exists, but neither a concise definition nor a common benchmark can be found. Further, it is unclear, what minimal leve ...

Functional and Adaptive Construction for Rescue

Hadi Ardiny

Although recent advances in the field of robotics have greatly increased robotic capabilities for several applications, autonomous robots are still in their infancy regarding their support of onsite construction. Unlike production robots that are used, for ...

Mergeable nervous systems for robots (vol 8, 439, 2017)

Francesco Mondada

Robots have the potential to display a higher degree of lifetime morphological adaptation than natural organisms. By adopting a modular approach, robots with different capabilities, shapes, and sizes could, in theory, construct and reconfigure themselves a ...

Mori: A Modular Origami Robot

Jamie Paik, Christoph Heinrich Belke

This paper proposes a new robotic platform based on origami robots and reconfigurable modular robots. The concept combines the advantages of both robot types into a mobile, quasi-two-dimensional, lattice-type reconfigurable modular origami robot, Mori. A d ...

Bio-inspired Tensegrity Soft Modular Robots

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Jun Shintake, Davide Zappetti

In this paper, we introduce a design principle to develop novel soft modular robots based on tensegrity structures and inspired by the cytoskeleton of living cells. We describe a novel strategy to realize tensegrity structures using planar manufacturing te ...
