LOCOMOTION WITH A UNIT MODULAR RECONFIGURABLE ROBOT Polypod is a bi-unit modular robot. This means that the robot is built up of exactly two types of modules that are repeated many times. This repetition makes manufacturing easier and cheaper… Read More

DISTRIBUTED SELF-RECONFIGURATION OF 3-D HOMOGENEOUS MODULAR STRUCTURE We have been studying on distributed mechanical systems, composed of many identical units. They use local communication to decide their behavior, and they can also reconfigure themselves dynamically…. Read More

WRESTLING WITH ROBOT SNAKES Snake robots are not only cool, but potentially very useful. Most groups building them hope to send them into disaster zones to locate people stranded in fallen buildings… Read More

  USC-ISI POLYMORPHIC ROBOTICS LABORATORY We conduct research in adaptive, self-reconfigurable, autonomous robots and systems, including StarCell, modular, multifunctional and self-reconfigurable SuperBot, Hormone-Inspired Control (HIC), Surprise-Based Learning (SBL), self-healing MORPHOS robots, self-reconfiguration Distributed Planner, self-reconfigurable, optimizing and healing networks LANdroids, self-assembly SOLAR robots, dual-purpose AUV/ROV underwater CATALINA robot, self-reconfigurable CONRO and SERES robots, the award-wining DreamTeam soccer-playing robot team, the MEMS Intelligent Motion Surface, the award-wining indoor navigation YODA robot, as well as highlight […]

SELF-RECONFIGURABLE ROBOTS GET IT TOGETHER Self-reconfigurable robots are a long way from liquid metal T1000 CGI Terminator robots, but still, it’s impressive to watch a robot reassemble itself after being kicked apart… Read More

RUS ROBOTICS LABORATORY – RESEARCH: MODULAR SELF-RECONFIGURING ROBOTS Modular Self-Reconfiguring Robots We wish to develop versatile and extensible massively-parallel distributed robotic systems. We believe that versatility can be obtained by developing self-reconfigurable systems. Self-reconfiguring robots have the ability to adapt to the operating environment and the required functionality by changing shape. They consist of a set […]
