Self-reconfiguring Robots: Successes and Challenges
We wish to create versatile robots by using selfreconfiguration: hundreds of small modules autonomously organize and reorganize as geometric structures to best fit the terrain on which the robot has to move, the shape of the obiect the robot has to manipulate, or the sensing needs for the given task. Self-reconfiguration allows large collections of small robots to actively organize as the most ...
متن کاملDistributed Learning for Controlling Modular Robots
What: Recently there has been an important research effort into modular, distributed robotics and in particular, self-reconfiguring robotics [2, 5, 8]. Issues with designing controllers for such systems range from constructing motor control primitives to ensuring cooperation between modules. For simpler tasks, such as locomotion in one direction, hand design is easy. However, as modular robots ...
متن کاملAutomated Design of Adaptive Controllers for Modular Robots using Reinforcement Learning
Designing distributed controllers for self-reconfiguring modular robots has been consistently challenging. We have developed a reinforcement learning approach which can be used both to automate controller design and to adapt robot behavior on-line. In this paper, we report on our study of reinforcement learning in the domain of self-reconfigurable modular robots: the underlying assumptions, the...
متن کاملVersatility for Unknown Worlds: Mobile Sensors and Self-reconfiguring Robots
In this paper we propose mobile sensors and self-reconfiguring robots to increase the versatility of mobile robots in unstructured environments. Mobile sensors enrich the class of on-line algorithms that can be performed with fixed architecture robots by providing flexibility in information gathering and extraction from the world. A self-reconfiguring robot can autonomously and dynamically reco...
متن کاملGeneric Decentralized Control for Lattice-Based Self-Reconfigurable Robots
Previous work on self-reconfiguring modular robots has concentrated primarily on designing hardware and developing reconfiguration algorithms tied to specific hardware systems. In this paper, we introduce a generic model for lattice-based self-reconfigurable robots and present several generic locomotion algorithms that use this model. The algorithms presented here are inspired by cellular autom...
