Heterogeneous Self-Reconfiguring Robotics
Self-reconfiguring robots are modular systems that can change shape, or reconfigure, to match structure to task. They comprise many small, discrete, often identical modules that connect together and that are minimally actuated. Global shape transformation is achieved by composing local motions. Systems with a single module type, known as homogeneous systems, gain fault tolerance, robustness and...
متن کاملA Self-reconfiguring Platform
A self-reconfiguring platform is reported that enables an FPGA to dynamically reconfigure itself under the control of an embedded microprocessor. This platform has been implemented on Xilinx Virtex IItm and Virtex II Protm devices. The platform’s hardware architecture has been designed to be lightweight. Two APIs (Application Program Interface) are described which abstract the low level configu...
متن کاملEveryday Aesthetics in Contemporary Art
This article examines the relatively new field of everyday aesthetics and its use in artistic works. I argue anyone can have an aesthetic experience regardless of the source, in the sense that it can happen during daily activities and from the appreciation of banal objects. In addition, contemporary art explores the significance of the prosaic and how people react to a new approach that often r...
متن کاملUse of Traditional and Complementary Medicine as Self-Care Strategies in Community Health Centers
In China, Community Health Centers (CHCs) are major providers of primary care services, but their potential in empowering patients' self-management capacity has not been assessed. This study aims to describe self-care practice patterns amongst CHC attendees in urban China.In this cross-sectional quantitative study, 3360 CHC patients from 6 cities within the Pearl Delta Region were sampled using...
متن کاملThe Self-Reconfiguring Robotic Molecule
We discuss a robotic module called a Molecule. Molecules can be the basis for building selfreconfiguring robots. They support multiple modalities of locomotion and manipulation. We describe the design, functionality, and control of the Molecule. We show how a set of Molecules can aggregate as active three-dimensional structures that can move and change shape. Finally, we discuss our Molecule ex...
