Hormone-inspired adaptive communication and distributed control for CONRO self-reconfigurable robots
2002
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation
This paper presents a biologically inspired approach to two basic problems in modular self-reconfigurable robots: adaptive communication in self-reconfigurable and dynamic networks, and collaboration between the physically coupled modules to accomplish global effects such as locomotion and reconfiguration. Inspired by the biological concept of hormone, the paper develops the Adaptive Communication (AC) protocol that enables modules continuously to discover changes in their local topology, and
