This article reviews the current state of the art in the development of modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) systems and suggests promising future research directions. A wide variety of MRR systems have been presented to date, and these robots promise to be versatile, robust, and low cost compared with other conventional robot systems. MRR systems thus have the potential to outperform traditional systems with a fixed morphology when carrying out tasks that require a high level of flexibility. We begin by introducing the taxonomy of MRRs based on their hardware architecture. We then examine recent progress in the hardware and the software technologies for MRRs, along with remaining technical issues. We conclude with a discussion of open challenges and future research directions.

Cleaning of the AC ducts is the need because it creates problems such as the bad indoor air quality which results in health issues and it also causes the large maintenance of the system. The uncleaned air ducts become home for fungi, dust and harmful microbial. The causes and effects of this thing are mentioned following. The AC ducts can be cleaned through various methodologies i.e. conventional and by using robots. In the conventional system, there is manual cleaning by using some equipment. Cleaning the ducts by using robots would be a good solution for this. Different types of robot systems i.e. crawling robot, articulated robot and inspection robot are deployed for the application. There are different types of robots and their equipment according to size and type of duct. The cleaning of rectangular shape ducts is quite difficult than others. Finally, it results that cleaning ducts is the most important thing and using robots is the best methodology for it.

System Configurations

Self-replicating robot systems (SRRSs) are a new prospective paradigm for robotic exploration. They can potentially facilitate lower mission costs and enhance mission capabilities by allowing some materials, which are needed for robotic system construction, to be collected in situ and used for robot fabrication. The use of a self-replicating robot system can potentially lower risk aversion, due to the ability to potentially replenish lost or damaged robots, and may increase the likelihood of mission success. This paper proposes and compares system configurations of an SRRS. A simulation system was designed and is used to model how an SRRS performs based on its system configuration, attributes, and operating environment. Experiments were conducted using this simulation and the results are presented.
