This paper presents a biologically inspired approach to two basic problems in modular self-reconfigurable robots: adaptive communication in self-reconfigurable and dynamic networks...
Abstract-- Vision feedback control loop techniques are efficient for a large class of applications but they come up against difficulties when the initial and desired robot position...
Parallel and distributed computing infrastructure are increasingly being embraced in the context of manufacturing applications, including real-time scheduling. In this paper, we pr...
Abstract-- The problem addressed is the distributed reconfiguration of a metamorphic robotic system composed of an arbitrary number of two dimensional hexagonal robots (modules) fr...
