In this study, a comprehensive review of achievements in the self‐reconfigurable modular
robotics field and future directions are given. Self‐reconfigurable modular robots (SRMRs) …

Reconfigurable modular robots have the ability to use different gaits and configurations to
perform various tasks. A rolling gait is the fastest currently implemented gait available for …

Experimental validation is particularly important in multi-robot systems research. The
differences between models and real-world conditions that may not be apparent in single …

This paper introduces a new challenge problem: designing robotic systems to recover after
disassembly from high-energy events and a first implemented solution of a simplified …

Recognizing useful modular robot configurations composed of hundreds of modules is a
significant challenge. Matching a new modular robot configuration to a library of known …

In this paper, we present a decentralized coordination algorithm that allows a robotic swarm
to locate and track a dynamic perimeter. A cooperative communication scheme is used by …

In this paper, we address the cooperative towing of payloads by multiple mobile robots that
move in the plane. Robots are attached via cables to an object or a pallet carrying a …

We describe a mobile modular robot system that can generate foam to make structural
elements. The mobile platform itself is built of CKBot modules and carries extra modules …

In this article, we present a CAN-based (Controller Area Network) distributed system to
integrate sensors, actuators and hardware controllers in a mobile robot platform. With this …

In this paper we present a method for distributed fault tolerance in a modular robotic system.
We describe an implementation of this method on the CKBot system. In particular, we …
