MODULAR ROBOTS

• Modular robots are composed of various units or modules.

• Each module involves actuators, sensors, computational, and

communicational capabilities.

• Modularity allows robots for self-assembly, self-

reconfiguration, and self-repair.

MODULAR ROBOTS

SELF-ASSEMBLY

• Constructing complex multi-unit system using simple units.

• Perform tasks in remote environments.

SELF-RECONFIGURATION

• Allows robots of metamorphosis, which in turn makes them

capable of performing different sorts of kinematics.

SELF-REPAIR

• Allows a robot to replace damaged modules with functional

ones in order to continue with the task at hand.

SELF-REPRODUCTION

• Allows robots to reproduce themselves from an infinite supply

of parts using simple rules.

• If the resulting system is an exact replica of the original, the

system is called a self-replicator.

EVOLUTIONARY ROBOTICS

• Evolutionary Robotics is a method for the automatic creation of

autonomous robots.

• Inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of

the fittest captured by evolutionary algorithms.
