Roombots-Mechanical Design of Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robots for Adaptive Furniture

Aude Billard, Auke Ijspeert, Pierre Dillenbourg, Alexander Spröwitz

We aim at merging technologies from information technology, roomware, and robotics in order to design adaptive and intelligent furniture. This paper presents design principles for our modular robots, called Roombots, as future building blocks for furniture ...

Learning to move in modular robots using central pattern generators and online optimization

Auke Ijspeert, Jérôme Maye, Rico Möckel, Alexander Spröwitz

This article addresses the problem of how modular robotics systems, i.e. systems composed of multiple modules that can be configured into different robotic structures, can learn to locomote. In particular, we tackle the problems of online learning, that is ...

Graph signature for self-reconfiguration planning

Aude Billard, Auke Ijspeert, Pierre Dillenbourg, Masoud Asadpour, Alexander Spröwitz

This project incorporates modular robots as building blocks for furniture that moves and self-reconfigures. The reconfiguration is done using dynamic connection / disconnection of modules and rotations of the degrees of freedom. This paper introduces a new ...

Passive compliant quadruped robot using central pattern generators for locomotion control

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti, Simon Rutishauser, Alexander Spröwitz

We present a new quadruped robot, “Cheetah”, featuring three-segment pantographic legs with passive compliant knee joints. Each leg has two degrees of freedom - knee and hip joint can be actuated using proximal mounted RC servo motors, force transmission t ...

An active connection mechanism for modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems based on physical latching

Auke Ijspeert, Masoud Asadpour, Yvan Bourquin, Alexander Spröwitz

This article presents a robust and heavy duty physical latching connection mechanism, which can be actuated with DC motors to actively connect and disconnect modular robot units. The special requirements include a lightweight and simple construction provid ...
