In this paper, authors proposes an idea of “mechanical messaging” for inter-robot communication using actuators and force sensors equipped on robots. In their previous works, they have proposed the decentralized multiple autonomous monopedal robots system "Universal Unipods" for universal object transportation. Their statement is that a very simple yet widely applicable function such as...
This paper investigates the cooperative work of distributed robot maintaining retention of swarm, especially in the case of going up slope. Our control law to keep the high retention of the robot swarm has been developed, and its effectiveness for an environment with obstacles has been confirmed by using ODE (Open Dynamics Engine). This paper considers an environment with the slope and investigates...
This paper deals with a new object transportation scheme performed by a herd of autonomous monopedal robots. The system is named as ldquoUniversal Unipods,rdquo in which each robot is attached on a load to be transported and works as if it were one of the legs of a large multipedal robot. The system is designed not only for generality of application but also for easiness of operation. The authors...
Space agriculture regenerates food, oxygen and water from metabolic waste. Since materials recycle is driven by limited resources available on extraterrestrial bodies, it can be an extreme model of terrestrial agriculture facing the growth limit at yet increasing population. Choice of food materials to meet nutritional requirements and foods cultural acceptability for space agriculture is the basis...
ldquoUniversal unipodsrdquo - it is a decentralized robots system for universal object transportation, which has been proposed by the authors. In this paper, the authors extends its ability by giving a new feature of estimating relative geometrical placement of each robot aiming at smooth and efficient object handling. The way of estimations are very simple by ldquoshakingrdquo the object to observe...
