Modular self-reconfiguring robotic systems or self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology.

Nov 22, 2022 · Here we introduce a discrete modular material-robot system that is capable of serial, recursive (making more robots), and hierarchical (making larger robots) assembly.

Self-repairing systems: Besides reconfiguring itself into a new shape, a system comprised of modular robots would be able to recover from serious damage, such as that which might result …

Aug 16, 2023 · A modular self-configurable robot (MSR) system, which is often referred to as a swarm robot system, promises to be cost-effective, robust, and durable in comparison with a …

May 2, 2020 · A robot, it turns out, doesn’t even need to have a fixed shape. That’s the vision of researchers who work in modular reconfigurable robotics and are pursuing bots that can …

Mar 18, 2024 · This paper summarizes the representative international research results from the perspective of the hardware design of robots in two aspects based on the design …

Dec 13, 2022 · Self-reconfigurable modular robots (SRMRs) are known as autonomous kinematic machines that can change their shape by rearranging the connectivity of their modules to …

In this letter, we present a modular self-reconfigurable soft continuum robotic system featuring a continuum backbone and an omnidirectional docking mechanism. This design enables each …

Self-reconfigurable modular robots are sets of robotic units attached to each other forming a connected shape called robot configuration. The units can change their connectivity, moving …

This paper introduces a taxonomy of reconfiguration classes for modular, self-reconfigurable robots and defines their characteristics. A study of the closed-chain reconfiguration class, its …
