Omni-Pi-tent and Dynamic Self-repair Project Summary

The Omni-Pi-tent and Dynamic Self-repair projects were finished in autumn of 2021. 

 

Most of the projects goals were achieved including:

  • Docking between moving modular robots without need or external guidance infrastructure


  • Dynamic self-assembly with real hardware 


  • Simulation of Dynamic Self-repair



  • Development of a convenient new data structure ("Quadruplets") for defining modular robotic structures

The one thing for which there was not quite time was completing the full Dynamic Self-repair procedure with the hardware, a few months more could perhaps have been enough.


The following publications provide further details, particularly the thesis:

R.H.Peck, Self-repair during continuous motion with modular robots, PhD Thesis, 2021 

R.H.Peck, J.Timmis, A.M. Tyrrell, Self-Assembly and Self-Repair during Motion with Modular Robots, MDPI Electronics, 2022
