—Modular software, in which strongly-separated units of functionality can be independently added to and removed from a node’s running software, offers a promising approach to e...
Modular robots are systems composed of a number of independent units that can be reconfigured to fit the task at hand. When the modules are computationally independent, they for...

This paper presents a tactile transducer device that is optimized from biomechanical data and has a compact, yet modular design. The tactile transducer comprises a 6 × 10 piezo b...
AKIRA is an open source framework designed for parallel, asynchronous and distributed computation, on the basis of some general architectural principles which are inspired by modu...
Abstract— Biological systems achieve amazing adaptive behavior with local agents performing simple sensing and actions. Modular robots with similar properties can potentially ach...
