Abstract— This paper presents a novel biologicallyinspired hierarchical approach to organizing and controlling modular robots. The purpose of our approach is to decompose the com...
Abstract— We present a novel type of inter-module connection mechanism for waterborne modular robotic systems. The proposed mechanism exploits the thermoelectric effect to cool d...
