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

Auke Ijspeert, Masoud Asadpour, 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 ...

Self-Organised Coordinated Motion in Groups of Physically Connected Robots

Mirco Dorigo, Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani

An important goal of collective robotics is the design of control systems that allow groups of robots to accomplish common tasks by coordinating without centralized control. In this paper, we study how a group of physically assembled robots can display coh ...

Relative Localization and Communication Module for Small-Scale Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli

We characterize and improve an existing infrared relative localization/communication module used to find range and bearing between robots in small-scale multi-robot systems. Modifications to the algorithms of the original system are suggested which offer b ...
