 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. Dr. Chih-Han Yu 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 [...] 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 [...] If you are looking for one single overview of SRCMR, look no further, Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robot Systems Challenges and Opportunities for the Future, by Mark Yim, Wei-Min Shen, Behnam Salemi, Daniela Rus, Mark Moll, Hod Lipson, Eric Klavins, Gregory S. Chirikjian, is it! This is an excellent introduction to the basic concept, as well as to what [...]  Michael Rubenstein One of the 1024 Robots Michael Rubenstein is developing and building and a quarter. In the second episode of the Flexible Elements podcast we hear Michael Rubenstein talk about how he is developing software and hardware to address one of the biggest challenges in Self Re-Configuring Modular Robotics. How shall we handle [...] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae2GdtetpCE”
I am proud and excited to announce my new podcast focusing on self-reconfiguring modular robotics! I am doing the podcast together with IT conversations and the conversations network. I would like to thank Phil, Paul, Joel and everybody at IT conversations for this opportunity and all their work and help. The first nine episodes were [...]  I found this fantastic video about a guy building a world for his sick girlfriend. And I’ve got to say it (and the guy in Australia will have to forgive me) THAT is the is the coolest job in the world! And it might not be that far off in the future. The only [...] |
