Designing Robot Metamorphosis

چکیده
In the recent past, modular robot assembly and metamorphosis has been evolved using gene regulatory networks. However, until now, no methodology exists to engineer such a regulatory network. Three existing representations will be employed to describe robot metamorphosis. A graph rewriting grammar describes state and connectivity transitions between robot organisms at the most abstract level. A communicating finite state machine introduces messages at an intermediate level. A regulatory network presents the process of metamorphosis at its least abstract level. In short, we present a design methodology for metamorphosis for which, as yet, only evolutionary methods did exist.

Designing an adaptive fuzzy control for robot manipulators using PSO
This paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ISE) as a performance criteria. In this paper, an improved PSO using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...

In this paper, recurrent neural network is used for path planning in the joint space of the robot with obstacle in the workspace of the robot. To design the neural network, first a performance index has been defined as sum of square of error tracking of final executor. Then, obstacle avoidance scheme is presented based on its space coordinate and its minimum distance between the obstacle and ea...

متن کاملCircadian Robot Metamorphosis
Insects, fish, and amphibians undergo the intriguing process of metamorphosis. Metamorphic processes are governed by gene regulatory networks: complex networks of gene-protein interactions. Recent studies demonstrate the isolated use of artificial gene regulatory networks for (1) body development, (2) metamorphosis, or (3) epigenetics. We will evolve a gene regulatory network by fitness uniform...
متن کاملA Basis for Self-Repair Robots Using Self-Reconfiguring Crystal Modules
Self-repair robots are modular robots that have the capability of detecting and recovering from failures. Typically, such robots are unit-modular and carry a number of redundant modules on their bodies. Self-repair consists of detecting the failure of a module, ejecting the bad module and replacing it with one of the extra modules. In this paper we show how self-repair can be accomplished by se...
