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...
— One of the primary impediments to building ensembles with many modular robots is the complexity and number of mechanical mechanisms used to construct the individual modules. As...

This paper describes a multi-layered hierarchical motion planning strategy for a class of self-reconfigurable modular robotic systems, I-Cubes. The approach is based on the synthe...
In this paper, we address the issue of motion planning for a bipartite class of modular self-reconfiguring robotic system (I-Cubes) that is a collection of active elements providin...
— As the size of the modules in a self-reconfiguring modular robotic system shrinks and the number of modules increases, the flexibility of the system as a whole increases. In ...
