Multiple Configurations

This paper describes the connected two unit crawlers to realize various configurations. By changing the configuration of two connected vehicle units in relative positions, the robot with this mechanism can automatically adapt to the configurations of obstacles in the field, including such complicated structures like debris after disasters. To assess the performance of this joint mechanism, an actual prototype model was developed and the basic performances of this vehicle were confirmed through mobile experiments.

One-degree-of-freedom ten-bar mechanism is a novel mechanism designed to clear loose debris for the search and rescue robot, which involves only one motor to generate the sweep motion. This paper established the kinematic model for the mechanism. The effects of the adjustable parameters on the tips trajectory are analyzed. From the results, a set of optimal parameters are obtained.

This article discusses the advantages of a modular robot that can reassemble itself for different tasks. Modular robots are composed of multiple, linked modules. Although individual modules can move on their own, the greatest advantage of modular systems is their structural reconfigurability. Modules can be combined and assembled to form configurations for specific tasks and then reassembled to suit other tasks. Modular robotic systems are also very well suited for dynamic and unpredictable application areas such as search and rescue operations. Modular robots can be reconfigured to suit various situations. Quite a number of modular robotic system prototypes have been developed and studied in the past, each containing unique geometries and capabilities. In some systems, a module only has one degree of freedom. In order to exhibit practical functionality, multiple interconnected modules are required. Other modular robotic systems use more complicated modules with two or three degrees of freedom. However, in most of these systems, a single module is incapable of certain fundamental locomotive behaviors, such as turning.
