Challenges and Applications Prospects for Reconfigurable Modular Robots
IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems(IROS)
Hangzhou International Expo Center, Hangzhou City, China
Modular robotics has gained significant attention for its potential to create versatile, reconfigurable, and scalable robotic systems. This workshop will bring together researchers and industry professionals to discuss recent advances in modular robot design, control strategies, and real-world applications. We aim to explore the challenges and opportunities in this domain, fostering collaboration and innovation to drive the field forward. This whole-day event will provide a platform for researchers to present methodologies for modular reconfigurable robotic (MRR) systems with diverse morphologies, addressing aspects such as design, planning, control, and real-world applications. The workshop will highlight how MRRs can operate in various environments to perform tasks efficiently and adaptively.
