In the paper, a concept of novel self-reconfigurable robotic system made of the autonomous robotic modules has been reviewed. Each robotic module is made of simple structure and few degrees of freedom; however, a group of the modules is able to change its connective configuration by changing their local connections and has functionality of robotic system which is capable of generating complicated...
In order to measure the quality of cloud services better, this paper proposes a measurement method, which mainly measures the quality of cloud services from two aspects: availability and performance. At the same time, it introduces a measurement framework based on plug-in. The framework can collect service information and calculate the quality of cloud services with the measurement method. It can...
Self-reconfiguration (SR) robots can take any form by connecting the modules in different configurations. The configurations formed by the modules have many degrees of freedom; therefore, designing a control method for whole body locomotion is more difficult than for the conventional robots. This paper utilizes central pattern generators (CPGs). Each neural oscillator of the network of CPGs works...
The design philosophy of UBot module is proposed in this paper. A novel modular self-reconfigurable robot called UBot is presented. The UBot module is compact, strength, flexible and capable of performing efficient locomotion, self-reconfiguration and manipulation tasks. This robot consists of several standard modules. Each module is cubic structure based on universal joint, and has four connecting...
