Victo Kuo In this episode we hear Victor Kuo talk about how he has developed radio communication that can handle many transmitters sending at the same time, which was a major obstacle to using radios for module to module communication. This will be a very powerful tool as it can handle the communication in all distances [...] In a post on ModRobotics.com called Hardware is Hard, Eric Schweikardt describes some of the problems he and the team had developing their Cubelets. (They have now shipped the first 100 kits, and one of them came to the Flexibility Envelope, check it out here: and here) What Eric and the team are doing is seriously [...]  This is three nice videos with a rundown of the latest prototypes Neil has done of his interesting self-reconfiguring modules, check his work out at www.selfreconfigurable.com and www.youtube.com/user/DesmondInnovation I think it is great that Neil shows us that you can develop and research Self-reconfiguring modular robotics(SRCMR) even if you do not have a big lab [...]  An interesting video of the progress Michael Rubenstein is making on the Kilobot project. If you want to know more about the kilobot and the systems capabilities here are som additional videos and a link the podcast interview I did with Michael Rubenstein on the Kilobots project att ICRA 2010 in Anchorage, Alaska. Building [...] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-5SRtwx3kY”
Juan Gonzalez Gomez and a long snake robot In this episode we hear Juan Gonzalez Gomez talk about the snake modular robots he is developing. Everything is fully open source, so if you want to test making your own you can get started right away. But we start from the beginning and hear how [...]  Something very significant happened, when Nick Eckenstein and Matt Piccoli in ModLab, led by professor Mark Yim, made a copy of Willow Garage’s PR2 using 3 types and a total of 22 CkBot units. This is a very substantial step towards a universal machine. The development time was reported as less then a month [...]  I am so excited to post the unboxing video for the Cubelets from Modular Robotics, so let’s dive straight into it! Links and notes: Modular Robotics, www.modrobotics.com The FlexibilityEnvelope, www.flexibilityenvelope.com Also check out the official Getting started guide it is great! http://www.modrobotics.com/cubelets_getting_started_guide#7 For more batteries and chargers go to Amazon.com if you are in [...] Lots of coolness will follow! I am so excited to have the Cubelets in my hands and I plan to do a number of posts about them. Starting with the compulsory unboxing, I will do a video and a post with pictures and information about the 15 different types that are included in this first [...] Book Review: Self-Reconfigurable Robots – an Introduction by Kasper Stoy, David Brandt and David J. Christiansen
As it says in the title, this is an introduction to a an exciting and growing field within robotics called Self-Reconfigurable (Modular) Robotics. It is thorough, though still an easy read, and I predict [...] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa3f7mBAeX8″
Dr. Wei-Min Shen In this episode I am proud to have Dr. Wei-Min Shen tell us about his work, that has a fantastic depth and is fundamental to the development of Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robotics. We hear about the early work and how he even won a world championship in football! We also get the [...] |
