— Modular robots can potentially assemble into a wide range of configurations to locomote in different environments. However, designing locomotion strategies for each configura...
This paper outlines aspects of locomotor control in insects that may serve as the basis for the design of controllers for autonomous hexapod robots. Control of insect walking can b...
— In nature, animal groups achieve robustness and scalability with each individual executes a simple and adaptive strategy. Inspired by this phenomenon, we propose a decentralize...
We aim at merging technologies from information technology, roomware, and robotics in order to design adaptive and intelligent furniture. This paper presents design principles for ...
A simple swing propagation mechanism for multi-robot motion coordination is presented. This mechanism is based on local-perception and low-level communication. It is oriented to c...
