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 [...] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrVuJ7WXvQU”>httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrVuJ7WXvQU
This video shows how convenient it is when one thing can transform itself from one thing to another automatically. (I would suggest you turn the volume down low, as the sound is quite strong in the beginning and there is no commentary) httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrVuJ7WXvQU http://www.bloomframe.com/ Imagine the same thing one every scale from the bumps in the [...]  In this TED Video you can see how squids use their enormous flexibility in their skin color and texture to do some amazing things. Can you imagine when all the the objects around you can do the same thing? It feels so amazing to work in an area with such immense potential for beauty.  I found this cool video from TEDx Berlin where Fabian Hemmert shows his work with cellphones and handheld devices that change their physical properties, like size and center of gravity, to show different internal states to the user. I also find his work on dynamic knobs really interesting. I think it is necessary to [...] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JG5GrAtalE&feature=channel_page”
This post defines three fundamental properties of Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robotics, SRCMR and then summarizes and elaborates on some consequences of them. Fundamental properties It is fundamental to SRCMR solutions to: Divide a task among many units that handle the task jointly This may seem simple and not that revolutionary, [...] Searching Scientific Commons is a great way to find papers, new and old, on any topic. When I searched for Self Reconfiguring Modular Robotics recently I got 323 hits! It is truly an amazing resource. My Self Reconfiguring Modular Robots search Scientific Commons Home [...]  The Gadget Show is a UK TV show for fun and interesting technical gadgets and in their latest episode they feature Modular Robots. In it the reporter, Ortis Deley, travels to the US and visits both Carnegie Mellon and University of Pennsylvania. First he visits Carnegie Mellon to see the latest progress in the research on robotic snakes, and [...] |
