: Locomotion and navigation of a surface walking/climbing robot – Planar Walker, based on a novel planar 8-bar mechanism are studied. The robot moves on a surface through decoupl...
We review the applications of artificial life (ALife), the creation of synthetic life on computers to study, simulate, and understand living systems. The definition and features of...
Self-reconfigurable robots are built from modules, which are autonomously able to change the way they are connected. Such a robot can, through this self-reconfiguration process, c...
