Robots: Modular and Reconfigurable Robots
     



The latest episode of the Robots podcast features
interviews with two experts in self-reconfiguring and modular robotics.
Kasper Støy, famous for
his pioneering work with robots such as the CONRO (also see previous post), shares
his recent experience at the ICRA Contingency
Challenge. This competition allows only a few hours to construct a
robot capable of solving an unexpected problem in a planetary
environment. Støy's team integrated the homogeneous ATRON robot and the
heterogeneous ODIN robot with bits of LEGO and duct tape to solve the
challenge.
Robert
Fitch, currently research fellow with the Australian Centre for Field
Robotics, presents his latest self-reconfiguring robot. In
simulation, millions of robotic modules assemble to form a large cube
robot able to locomote in many types of environments. Fitch presents the
envisioned applications and hardware implementations for his
self-reconfigurable modular robots. Details and videos on the Robots
website and Robots
forum.
