Recently, reconfigurable drones have gained particular attention in the field of automation
and flying robots. Unlike the conventional drones, they are characterized by a variable …

The design and control of drones remain areas of active research, and here we review
recent progress in this field. In this article, we discuss the design objectives and related …

We investigate how reliable movement can emerge in aggregates of highly error-prone
individuals. The individuals—robotic modules—move stochastically using vibration motors …

Cargo drones are designed to carry payloads with predefined shape, size, and/or mass. This
lack of flexibility requires a fleet of diverse drones tailored to specific cargo dimensions. Here …

This paper addresses the landing problem of a quadrotor on an unpredictable moving
vehicle, using a robust image-based visual servoing (IBVS) method. The circle-based image …

Propeller failure is a major cause of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) crashes.
While conventional multirotor systems struggle to address this issue due to underactuation …

Failures in high value, safety-critical, inaccessible, and productivity-critical systems is an
area of significant research interest. Despite advances in predictive and continuous …

In this study, a comprehensive review of achievements in the self‐reconfigurable modular
robotics field and future directions are given. Self‐reconfigurable modular robots (SRMRs) …

Recently, transformable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become a subject of great
interest in the field of flying systems, due to their maneuverability, agility and morphological …

Robotic modular systems have the ability to create and break physical links to self-assemble
larger custom robots for general tasks. In case of changes in the task or the environment …
