M-blocks: Momentum-driven, magnetic modular robots
- in IROS
, 2013
"... Abstract — In this paper, we describe a novel self-assembling, self-reconfiguring cubic robot that uses pivoting motions to change its intended geometry. Each individual module can pivot to move linearly on a substrate of stationary modules. The modules can use the same operation to perform convex a ..."

realization of the modular actions required by the sliding cube model using pivoting. We describe the principles, the unit-module hardware, and extensive experiments with a system of eight modules. I.
Enhancing Software Modularity and Extensibility: A Case for using Generic Data Representations
"... Abstract-Portable, modular and extensible software allows robotics researchers to pool their resources by sharing algorithms, thus advancing research in the field of robotics at a faster rate than is possible under a non-collaborative model. The development and use of frameworks and middleware, all ..."

, allowing researchers to encapsulate robotic capabilities within a component structure, has traditionally been the focus of robotics software engineering research. Although components greatly enhance the software mechanism's portability, modularity and extensibility, they do not directly address
Proposal of Modular Robotic Arm from DSM Modules
"... Abstract This article describes the system model for combining DSM modules from SPINEA Company to the higher functional units. The outcome is a modular robotic arm with six degrees of freedom. The work area can be changed depending on change the length of the individual arms. In the design robotic ..."

Legged Robots
"... For mobile robots, the essential units of actuation, computation, and sensing must be designed to fit within the body of the robot. Additional capabilities will largely depend upon a given activity, and should be easily reconfigurable to maximize the diversity of applications and experiments. To add ..."

IRIS- Modular Vision Guided Servo Tooling System for Robots
"... Current commercial gripper, manipulator as well as assembly line manufacturers offer mainly highly specialized, high volume and limited flexibility systems. Sensing capabilities are usually extensively included only in the high-end of these commercial systems, whereas without sensing the accuracy re ..."

and control system are still task or operation type specific. IRIS is a tooling system for commercial industrial robots that is guided by a miniature ‘eye-in-palm ’ camera. The modular design of the system mechanics enable attachment to any commercial manipulator, even to one having unsufficient absolute
Towards a Minimal Architecture for a Printable, Modular, and Robust Sensing Skin
"... Abstract — This work presents a low-complexity modular sensor grid architecture to provide a smart skin to non-convex shapes, such as a robot body and legs. To configure a sensing skin shaped by arbitrary cuts and rapid changes in designs, we use a wavefront planning approach to generate a minimumde ..."
