Mobot by Barobo.com
Soon you can get your hands on the Mobot modular robot for a very reasonable $270 a module (pre-orders available now). A number of connection plates and attachments will also be available, and I guess you can 3D print your own stuff. Mobot [...] Prof. Subramanian Ramamoorthy In this episode I talk to Prof. Subramanian Ramamoorthy. He tells us how he got started in robotics and how he first saw the strengths of the modular concept. He saw this in National Instruments’ use of modularity for building electronic testing instruments that fit a specific situation rather than being [...] If you think that modular robotics is cool, but that it will not be available or usable for a very long time, think again. It is actually both available and used right now! I have used modular robots in real life and so have Modular robotics, the company that makes the Cubelets. They just published [...] Last edit (19 Mar 2012): Added Requirement 49. Totally quiet The connector is one of the biggest challenges in SRCMR, so I have compiled a list of all requirements that I think are in any way relevant when designing a SRCMR connector. I do not say that we need, or should even try, to satisfy all [...]  I found this interesting video that shows the strength of the two-type heterogeneous modular robotic system. The two-type (or N-type) of modules system is a type of SRCMR system that I really like. It consists of two (or more) categories of units. One type is complex and contains sensors, computation and actuation, and the other [...] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwTQ01A14MI”
Andreas Lyder In this episode we hear Andreas Lyder talk about his work in Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robotics. Specifically, his interesting work with the Odin system, which is a strut based deforming system. This is interesting from another point of view than the systems where modules rearrange themselves among each other. The deforming or transforming property, while in [...] As I wrote in “Rooms and living spaces in a SRCMR world” many things change when your living space becomes active and can do things for you. One maybe unexpected change is how we perceive travel. Self-reconfiguring modular robotics (SRCMR) will make travel transparent and almost unnoticeable. No more hassle, stress and wasted time and [...] http://youtu.be/f-iFJ3ncIDo
One really amazing thing that SRCMR can do is to totally transform our houses and apartments. It will do so in two deceivingly simple ways. First, it allows you to move and change your inner walls and floor surfaces etc at will* Secondly, it can create and change all your major furniture pieces like tables, [...] It is time for IROS and the Modular Robotics Workshop again, and from the program it looks really interesting. I will naturally attend the workshop on Sunday and then I will attend some standards meetings on Monday (thanks Craig and Raj for letting me lurk and learn). I think that getting good, open international standards [...] So yoyu think the Cubelets from Modular Robotics looks coool and you would like to play?
But you diden’t get one of the 250 prototype kits, and now they are out of stock That is where the flexibility Envelope comes to the rescue! You can win free tinkering time in the: [...] |
