Such robots could help in disaster response, inspection, and maintenance in hazardous as well as collapsed buildings and tunnels
Resource-sharing boosts robotic resilience - EPFL
Teamwork makes the robot dream work
Engineers at EPFL have demonstrated a modular robot that becomes more resilient as it gains more modules by sharing critical resources across its body. Led by the Reconfigurable Robotics Laboratory, the team built an origami-inspired robot called Mori3 and tested a new “local resource sharing” approach that pools power, sensing, and wireless communication between connected units. The team says full sharing of all key resources reversed the usual reliability drop seen in multi-module robots. Such robots could help in disaster response, inspection, and maintenance in hazardous as well as collapsed buildings and tunnels.
