Memento Mori: Reliable robustness in self-reconfigurable modular robots

Modular robotics link the reliability of a centralised system with the adaptivity of a decentralised system. It is difficult for a robot with a fixed shape to be able to perform many different types of tasks. As the task space grows, the number of function ...

Data-driven fixed-structure frequency-based H2 and H∞ controller design

Alireza Karimi, Vaibhav Gupta, Philippe Louis Schuchert

The frequency response data of a generalized system is used to design fixed-structure controllers for the H2 and H∞ synthesis problem. The minimization of the two and infinity norm of the transfer function between the exogenous inputs and performance outpu ...

Decentralized and Distributed Transient Control for Microgrids

Alireza Karimi, Christoph Manuel Kammer

This paper treats the problem of primary and secondary control design in low-inertia power grids with mixed lines and a large amount of inverter-interfaced generation. A dynamic phasor model is developed that represents the electromagnetic and electromecha ...

Natural user interface for lighting control: Case study on desktop lighting using modular robots

Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Massimo Vespignani, Simon Lukas Hauser, Stéphane Bonardi, Alexandre Bernardino

Roombots (RB) are self-reconfigurable modular robots designed to explore physical structure change by robotic reconfiguration and adaptive locomotion on structured grid environment or unstructured environment. The primary goal of RB is to create adaptive f ...

Challenges in the Locomotion of Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robots

Massimo Vespignani

Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robots (SRMRs) are assemblies of autonomous robotic units, referred to as modules, joined together using active connection mechanisms. By changing the connectivity of these modules, SRMRs are able to deliberately change their ow ...

Gait Optimization for Roombots Modular Robots - Matching Simulation and Reality

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Soha Pouya, Jesse van den Kieboom, Stéphane Bonardi

The design of efficient locomotion gaits for robots with many degrees of freedom is challenging and time consuming even if optimization techniques are applied. Control parameters can be found through optimization in two ways: (i) through online optimizatio ...

Gait Optimization for Roombots Modular Robots - Matching Simulation and Reality

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Alexander Spröwitz, Soha Pouya, Rico Möckel, Stéphane Bonardi

The design of efficient locomotion gaits for robots with many degrees of freedom is challenging and time con- suming even if optimization techniques are applied. Control parameters can be found through optimization in two ways: (i) through online optimizat ...

Genetic representation and evolvability of modular neural controllers

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr

The manual design of con- trol systems for robotic devices can be challenging. Methods for the automatic synthesis of control systems, such as the evolution of artificial neural networks, are thus widely used in the robotics community. However, in many rob ...

An active connection mechanism for modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems based on physical latching

Auke Ijspeert, Masoud Asadpour, Yvan Bourquin

This article presents a robust and heavy duty physical latching connection mechanism, which can be actuated with DC motors to actively connect and disconnect modular robot units. The special requirements include a lightweight and simple construction provid ...

A Conceptual Model for Remote Data Acquisition Systems

Alain Wegmann, Txomin Nieva

Data acquisition systems (DAS) are the basis for building monitoring tools that enable supervision of local and remote systems. Unfortunately, DASs are commonly based on proprietary technologies. The data format usually depends on the industrial process, t ...
