One property of a robotic collective that allows it to complete such a task is the shape of the collective. This paper presents Kilobot, a simple modular robot designed to work in a collective to self-assemble and self-heal that collective’s shape. In previous work, an algorithm is given that allows a simulated collective of robots to self-assemble and self-heal a desired shape, keeping the shape sized proportional to the number of robots in the collective. In this abstract, the current work of producing a robotic collective that can demonstrate that algorithm is presented. en_US dc.description.sponsorship Engineering and Applied Sciences en_US dc.language.iso en_US en_US dc.publisher Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers en_US dc.relation.isversionof http://modular.mmmi.sdu.dk/icra10workshop/papers/modular-robots-icra2010-workshop.pdf#page=53 en_US dc.relation.hasversion http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/ssr/papers/icra2010-rubenstein-workshoppaper.pdf en_US dash.license OAP dc.title Kilobot: A Robotic Module for Demonstrating Behaviors in a Large Scale ($$2^{10}$$ Units) Collective en_US dc.type Monograph or Book en_US dc.description.version Accepted Manuscript en_US dc.relation.journal Proceedings of the IEEE 2010 International Conference on Robotics and Automation Workshop, Modular Robotics: State of the Art en_US dash.depositing.author Nagpal, Radhika dc.date.available 2011-12-20T20:08:08Z
