@article{castano02-CONRO,
abstract = {The goal of the Conro Project is to build deployable
modular robots that can reconfigure into different
shapes such as snakes or hexapods. Each Conro module
is, itself, a robot and hence a Conro robot is actually
a multirobot system. In this paper we present an
overview of the Conro modules, the design approach, an
overview of the mechanical and electrical systems and a
discussion on size versus power requirement of the
module. Each module is self-contained; it has its own
processor, power supply, communication system, sensors
and actuators. The modules, although self-contained,
were designed to work in groups, as part of a large
modular robot. We conclude the paper by describing some
of the robots that we have built using the Conro
modules and describing the miniature custom-made Conro
camera as an example of the type of sensors that can be
carried as payload by these robots. },

@article{castano00-Conro,
abstract = {Metamorphic robots are modular robots that can
reconfigure their shape. Such capability is desirable
in tasks such as earthquake search and rescue and
battlefield surveillance and scouting, where robots
must go through unexpected situations and obstacles and
perform tasks that are difficult for fixed-shape
robots. The capabilities of the robots are determined
by the design specification of their modules. In this
paper, we present the design specification of a CONRO
module, a small, self-sufficient and relatively
homogeneous module that can be connected to other
modules to form complex robots. These robots have not
only the capability of changing their shape
(intra-robot metamorphing) but also can split into
smaller robots or merge with other robots to create a
single larger robot (inter-robot metamorphing), i.e.,
CONRO robots can alter their shape and their size.
Thus, heterogeneous robot teams can be built with
homogeneous components. Furthermore, the CONRO robots
can separate the reconfiguration stage from the
locomotion stage, allowing the selection of
configuration-dependent gaits. The locomotion and
automatic inter-module docking capabilities of such
robots were tested using tethered prototypes that can
be reconfigured manually. We conclude the paper
discussing the future work needed to fully realize the
construction of these robots.},

communicate with its immediate neighbors. Embedded
microprocessors control each module's magnetic

modules form a system that can be virtually sculpted
using a computer interface and a distributed process.
The group of modules collectively decides which
elements are a part of the final shape and which are
not using algorithms that minimize information
transmission and storage. Finally, the modules not in
the structure disengage their magnetic couplings and
fall away under the influence of an external force: in
this case, gravity.},

abstract = {We demonstrate modular robot prototypes developed as
part of the Claytronics Project (Goldstein et al.
2005). Among the novel features of these robots
("catoms") is their ability to reconfigure (move)
relative to one another without moving parts. The
absence of moving parts is central to one key aim of
our work, namely, plausible manufacturability at
smaller and smaller physical scales using high-volume,
low-unit-cost techniques such as batch
photolithography, multi-material submicron 3D
lithographic processing, and self assembly. Claytronics
envisions multi-million-module robot ensembles able to
form into three dimensional scenes, eventually with
sufficient fidelity so as to convince a human observer
the scenes are real. This work presents substantial
challenges in mechanical and electronic design,
control, programming, reliability, power delivery, and
motion planning (among other areas), and holds the
promise of radically altering the relationship between
computation, humans, and the physical world.},

@article{LiB.;MaS.;LiuJ.;WangM.;LiuT.;Wang2009,
abstract = {This work intends to enhance the mobility and flexibility of a tracked mobile robot through changing its shape in unstructured environments. A shape-shifting mobile robot, AMOEBA-I, has been developed. With three tracked modules, AMOEBA-I has nine locomotion configurations and three of them are symmetrical configurations. The key advantage of this design over other mobile robots is its adaptability and flexibility because of its various configurations. It can change its configuration fluently and automatically to adapt to different environments or missions. A modularized structure of the control system is proposed and designed for AMOEBA-I to improve the fault tolerance and substitutability of the system. The strategies of cooperative control, including cooperative shape shifting, cooperative turning and cooperative obstacle negotiation, have been proposed to improve the capability of shape shifting, locomotion and obstacle negotiation for AMOEBA-I. A series of experiments have been carried out, and demonstrated that such a structure possesses excellent mobility and high flexibility under various urban environments including stairs, a narrow space, an obstacle, uneven debris and an underground garage. Being small, portable, and remotely controlled, AMOEBA-I has potential applications in areas such as urban search and rescue and environment reconnaissance.},

self-reconfigurable robotic modules enables the merger
of two or more independent self-reconfigurable robots.
This ability allows independent reconfigurable robots
in the same environment to join together to complete a
task that would otherwise not be possible with the
individual robots prior to merging. The challenges for
this task include: (1) coordinate and align two
independent self-reconfigurable robots using the
docking guidance system available only at the
connectors of the docking modules; (2) overcome the
inevitable errors in the alignment by a novel and
coordinated movements from both docking ends; (3)
ensure the secure connection at the end of docking; (4)
switch configuration and let modules to discover the
changes and new connections so that the two docked
robots will move as a single coherent robot. We have
developed methods for overcome these challenging
problems and accomplished for the first time an actual
docking between two independent CONRO robots each with
multiple modules.},

The innovations of this research lie in two points. Firstly, different grasping modes are integrated based on modular approach. Then manipulation capability of robotic arms and flexible locomotion mobility of mobile robots are combined in our current project. Furthermore, the approach in the paper is not only considering manipulation and mobility in modular robots but also, the exploitation of a task priority based approach introduced to manage the trade-off between these two functionalities. Related kinematics of our approach is present systematically. A rational simulation is also given to confirm the idea. In the end a conclusion is given and future work is outlined. I.},

@article{shen06-Superbot,
abstract = {One of the most challenging issues for a
self-sustaining robotic system is how to use its
limited resources to accomplish a large variety of
tasks. The scope of such tasks could include
transportation, exploration, construction, inspection,
maintenance,in-situ resource utilization, and support
for astronauts. This paper proposes a modular and
reconfigurable solution for this challenge by allowing
a robot to support multiple modes of locomotion and
select the appropriate mode for the task at hand. This
solution relies on robots that are made of
reconfigurable modules. Each locomotion mode consists
of a set of characteristics for the environment type,
speed, turning-ability, energy-efficiency, and
recoverability from failures. This paper demonstrates a
solution using the SuperBot robot that combines
advantages from M-TRAN, CONRO, ATRON, and other
chain-based and lattice-based robots. At the present, a
single real SuperBot module can move, turn, sidewind,
maneuver, and travel on batteries up to 500 m on carpet
in an office environment. In physics-based simulation,
SuperBot modules can perform multimodal locomotions
such as snake, caterpillar, insect, spider, rolling
track, H-walker, etc. It can move at speeds of up to
1.0 m/s on flat terrain using less than 6 W per module,
and climb slopes of no less 40 degrees.},

abstract = {Presents a biologically inspired approach to two basic
problems in modular self-reconfigurable robots:
adaptive communication in self-reconfigurable and
dynamic networks, and distributed collaboration between
the physically coupled modules to accomplish global
effects such as locomotion and reconfiguration.
Inspired by the biological concept of hormone, the
paper develops the adaptive communication (AC) protocol
that enables modules continuously to discover changes
in their local topology, and the adaptive distributed
control (ADC) protocol that allows modules to use
hormone-like messages in collaborating their actions to
accomplish locomotion and self-reconfiguration. These
protocols are implemented and evaluated, and
experiments in the CONRO self-reconfigurable robot and
in a Newtonian simulation environment have shown that
the protocols are robust and scaleable when
configurations change dynamically and unexpectedly, and
they can support online reconfiguration, module-level
behavior shifting, and locomotion. The paper also
discusses the implication of the hormone-inspired
approach for distributed multiple robots and
self-reconfigurable systems in general.},

@article{Westling1984,
abstract = {A small object was gripped between the tips of the index finger and thumb and held stationary in space. Its weight and surface structure could be changed between consecutive lifting trials, without changing its visual appearance. The grip force and the vertical lifting force acting on the object, as well as the vertical position of the object were continuously recorded. Likewise, the minimal grip force necessary to prevent slipping, was measured. The difference between this minimal force and the employed grip force, was defined as the safety margin to prevent slipping. It was found that the applied grip force was critically balanced to optimize the motor behaviour so that slipping between the skin and the gripped object did not occur and the grip force did not reach exceedingly high values. To achieve this motor control, the nervous system relied on a mechanism that measured the frictional condition between the surface structure of the object and the fingers. Experiments with local anaesthesia indicated that this mechanism used information from receptors in the fingers, most likely skin mechanoreceptors. In addition to friction, the control of the grip force was heavily influenced by the weight of the object and by a safety margin factor related to the individual subject. The frictional conditions during the previous trial could also, to some extent, influence the grip force.},
