One of the most challenging issues for a self-sustaining robotic system is how to use its
limited resources to accomplish a large variety of tasks. The scope of such tasks could …

Abstract Employing Modular Robotic Systems (MRS) in different application domains
confronts a large number of challenging problems in design, optimization, and planning, and …

Modularity in robotics holds great potential. In principle, modular robots can be
disassembled and reassembled in different robots, and possibly perform new tasks …

This article addresses the problem of how modular robotics systems, ie systems composed
of multiple modules that can be configured into different robotic structures, can learn to …

Self-assembly of modular robotic systems enables the construction of complex robotic
configurations to adapt to different tasks. This paper presents a framework for SMORES …

Imagine a world in which our furniture moves around like legged robots, interacts with us,
and changes shape and function during the day according to our needs. This is the long …

We have been developing a self-reconfigurable modular robotic system (M-TRAN) which
can make various 3-D configurations and motions. In the second prototype (M-TRAN II) …
