Algorithms and Mechanisms for Locomotion and Reconfiguration of Self-Reconfigurable Robots
Kristy S. Van Hornweder
There are numerous algorithms and methods for controlling the locomotion, assembly, and reconfiguration of modular self-reconfigurable robots. A brief overview of several of these algorithms is presented in this report. The general idea behind each algorithm is discussed, and these discussions are accompanied by images of example robot structures and configurations. The presentation also includes a discussion of results of simulation experiments, as well as issues and challenges with implementing these algorithms, and possible practical applications of the various research projects.
