A Stochastic Self-reconfigurable Modular Robot with Mobility Control
"... Recently, a variety of robotic systems have been studied under the umbrella term of modular reconfigurable robotics [7,6]. Unlike conventional fixedmorphology robots, whose performance is usually confined by the operating environment and their own size, modular reconfigurable robots have the potenti ..."

the potential advantage of being able to change their morphology by rearranging the connectivity of their modular units [3]. This project investigates the development and improvement of a self-reconfigurable modular robot designed in previous work to study the emergence of robotic life-forms in a controllable
Robot modularity for self-reconfiguration
"... Metamorphic robots are an emerging field in which robots can dynamically reconfigure shape and size not only for individual robots (intra-robot metamorphing) but also for complex structures that are formed by multiple robots (inter-robot metamorphing). Such capability is highly desirable in tasks su ..."

and reconfigurations. We conclude the paper with a status report of the CONRO project and a list of the future work needed to fully realize the construction of the CONRO metamorphic robots.
Self-reconfigurable Modular e-pucks
"... Abstract. We present the design of a new structural extension for the e-puck mobile robot. The extension may be used to transform what is a swarm robotics platform into a self-reconfigurable modular robotic system. As a proof of concept, we present an algorithm for controlling the collective locomot ..."

Multiagent control of self-reconfigurable robots
- Artificial Intelligence
, 2002
"... We demonstrate how multiagent systems provide useful control techniques for modular self-reconfigurable (metamorphic) robots. Such robots consist of many modules that can move relative to each other, thereby changing the overall shape of the robot to suit different tasks. Multiagent control is parti ..."

, 2007
"... Abstract. A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape. Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that can manipulate each other to change the shape of the robot. The robot can also perform tasks such as locomotion without changin ..."

changing shape. Programming a modular, self-reconfigurable robot is however a complicated task: the robot is essentially a real-time, distributed embedded system, where control and communication paths often are tightly coupled to the current physical configuration of the robot. To facilitate the task
Dynamics and Control of Modular and Self-Reconfigurable Robotic Systems
"... Abstract—In this paper, we introduce a framework for automatic generation of dynamic equations for modular self-reconfigurable robots and investigate a few adaptive control strategies. This framework enables to analyse the kinematics, dynamics and control for both, serial and branched multi-body rob ..."
