This paper surveys the developments of the last 20 years in the field of central pattern
generator (CPG) inspired locomotion control, with particular emphasis on the fast emerging …

With increasing demand on reliable robotic platforms that can alleviate the burden of daily
painstaking tasks, researchers have focused their effort towards developing robotic …

Within the context of multiple mobile, and networked robot systems, this chapter explores the
current state of the art. After a brief introduction, we first examine architectures for multirobot …

As a novel biologically inspired underwater vehicle, a robotic manta ray (RoMan-II) has
been developed for potential marine applications. Manta ray can perform diversified …

This paper proposes a new robotic platform based on origami robots and reconfigurable
modular robots. The concept combines the advantages of both robot types into a mobile …

A new prototype of a self-reconfigurable modular robot, M-TRAN III, has been developed,
with an improved fast and rigid connection mechanism. Using a distributed controller …

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and experimental results of a programmable
matter system capable of 2D shape formation through subtraction. The system is composed …

In this book the use of ER techniques for the design of self-organising group behaviours, for
both simulated and real robots is introduced. This research has a twofold value. From an …
