Abstract

A robot must have more application range as a result of market global competition. However each robot's fixed configuration makes it well-suited for a limited application range. Hence, the flexibility of a robot can not meet the demand in market change. A solution to this problem is to develop reconfigurable modular robot system. This paper analyses the development and design contents of reconfigurable modular robots. some research topics on reconfigurable modular robots are proposed.
