 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″
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 full story behind his [...]  The impressive Cubelets from Modular Robotics are on their way to the Flexibility Envelope! and I am so excited! The Cubelets from Modular Robotics www.modrobotics.com I think that the Cubelets are so amazing, and an excellent example of the enormous strength of a modular robotic system. In the video below you see how a [...] http://vimeo.com/21703223
This speech by Eric Schweikardt from Modular Robotics contains so much it is a must see for all people interested in the Cubelets, Modular robotics or self reconfiguring modular robotics. In this episode we hear Chih-Han Yu talk about how he uses AI to make module based solutions robuster to handle complex real world situations better. He works with strut based systems, where the struts are able to adjust there length, that mean that this system is reconfigurable in another way compared to systems that [...] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wwfn739Da0″
In this episode Zoltan Nagy talks about his work with magnetic connectors for a modular robot aimed at gastric surgery. The aim is to develop a system with pieces that can be swallowed individually and that assembles in the stomach and performs surgery. Nagy studied the optimal design of the magnetic connector, and surprisingly the [...] Kyle Gilpin In this episode we hear Kyle Gilpin talk about his work with electropermanent magnets. Electropermanent magnets make excellent connectors for modular robots as they are strong, small, solid state, consume power only when connecting or disconnecting, and they can also handle communication and power transfer. We also hear about how Kyle used electropermanent magnets to build [...]  It seems that I mostly do video posts lately, but I really like this video from the home appliance company Electrolux. It shows a very flexible cooking surface, kind of like a stove but better! First, the user adds the ingredients for the meal they are preparing, then they decide what to do with each ingredient [...] |
