Modular Robots

PROJECTS

COMPLETED PROJECTS

MUV

Modular Underwater Vehicle. Modular system for underwater applications. Main objective is to achieve multiple configurations for underwater plastic and trash collection.

MARA

Modular Aquatic Robotic Arm for underwater applications. Main objective is to achieve high dexterity for underwater maintenance applications and locomotion capabilities.

MAS II

Modular Aerial System

CMAS

Coaxial Modular Aerial System  driven by center of mass

ModRED

The objective of the ModRED (Modular Robot for Exploration and Discovery) project is to improve existing techniques for automated exploring of initially unknown or partially-known environments such as extra-terrestrial surfaces on the Moon or Mars or terrestrial regions with limited accessibility such as in urban search and rescue scenarios.

SMART

The project seeks to extend the use of modular robotic systems and their research progress, which so far have an important academic aspect, to real-world applications. The intention is to demonstrate that a system based on an inventory of different, simple and low-cost fabrication modules can create a variety of robot configurations that have immediate applications.
