Development of a modular reconfigurable robot system

To obtain both high reconfiguration ability and manipulating performance for applications in education and research areas, a modular reconfigurable robot experimental system (MRRES) was developed. First, a module division and reconfiguration method was proposed, next a module library was established, and then a series of joint modules with integrated transmission, control, and sensing systems were developed. Based on Open GL and VC++, the software MRR-SIM incorporating the functions of modeling, simulation, and motion control was developed. A task-and-module-library based illustrative example was presented, and finally a robot was tested. The results of the experiments show that the proposed division method and the design of the MRRES are appropriate, the high reconfiguration ability and high manipulating performance were achieved, and the system was applicable to the applications in education and research settings.
