Complete Process for Target Form Self-Replication from Homogeneous Self-Reconfigurable Robot Modules

摘要: We describe a complete system for the autonomous selfreplication of multiple instances of an user-defined target robot form using self-reconfigurable robots. We describe the tools that are required, the steps of the assembly process, and the work required to realize a working system. We show how this system is practical for a real self-reconfigurable robot system. We give some experimental results that show the feasibility of the system and describe future work required to give a complete demonstration.
