Modular robots (MRs) consist of similar modules that can be configured into different shapes. MRs introduce a number of benefits over conventional robots specifically designed for a task. Self-reconfigurable modular robots (SRMRs) are a sub-category of MRs ...
Even though many prototypes of 3D self-reconfiguring modular robots (SRMRs) have been developed in recent years, a demonstration involving 1'000 modules remains a challenge. This is largely due to complex mechanics needed to achieve connection, disconnecti ...
The computational load associated with computer vision is often prohibitive, and limits the capacity for on-board image analysis in compact mobile robots. Replicating the kind of feature detection and neural processing that animals excel at remains a chall ...

This work investigates the usage of compliant universal grippers as a novel foot design for legged locomotion. The method of jamming of granular media in the universal grippers is characterized by having two distinct states: a soft, fluid-like state which ...

One of the main strengths of self-reconfigurable modular robots (SRMR) is their ability to shape-shift and dynamically change their morphology. In the case of our SRMR system "Roombots", these shapes can be quite arbitrary for a great variety of tasks whil ...

Compliance of the body has a crucial role on locomotion performance. The levels and the distribution of compliance should be well tuned to obtain efficient gait. The leg stiffness changes significantly even during different phases of a single gait cycle. T ...

Jamming of granular media has been shown to possess the property of stiffness variation, transitioning from a soft to a quasi-solid state depending on the packing density of the granules. Recently, a gradual stiffness change for bending has been reported b ...
