When people or animals get hurt, they can usually compensate for minor
injuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them
stumble and fall. Now a robot scarcely larger than a human hand has demonstrated a
novel ability: It can recover from damage -- an innovation that could make robots
more independent.
The new robot, which looks like a splay-legged, four-footed starfish, deduces
the shape of its own body by performing a series of playful movements, swiveling its
four limbs. By using sensors to recor ....etc

PolyBot - Modular, self-reconfigurable robots

Modular, self-reconfigurable robots show the promise of great versatility, robustness and low cost. Polybot is a modular, self-reconfigurable system that is being used to explore the hardware reality of a robot with a large number of interchangeable modules. Three generations of Polybot have been built over the last three years which include ever increasing levels of functionality and integration. Polybot has shown versatility, by demonstrating locomotion over a variety of terrain and manipulatin ....etc

Abstract
Swarm-bots consist of a collection of mobile robots able to self-assemble and to self-organize so to
solve problems that could not be solved by a single robot. They combines the power of swarm
intelligence and the flexibility of self-reconfiguration as aggregate swarm-bots have the ability to
dynamically change their structure to match environmental variability.
SWARM-BOTS, a project funded by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the
European Community (project IST-2000-31010), focuses on the design and the imp ....etc

REPLICATING RAPID PROTOTYPER (reprapp)
ABSTRACT
RepRap is short for Replicating Rapid-prototyper -- a self-replicating machine often described as a 3D printer that can manufacture components by building them up in layers of plastic. The RepRap Project is an initiative aimed at creating a largely selfreplicating machine which can be used for rapid prototyping and manufacturing. A rapid prototyper is a 3D printer that is able to fabricate three dimensional artifacts from a computer-based model. Project authors describe 'self-replication', und ....etc

ABSTRACT
Self reproduction is ultimate form of self repair. Self replication is
generally considered to be a machine that can build itself, and that they can build another copy and so on. The self reproducing machines demonstrated here are essentially modular robots, consisting of multiple identical actuated modules with electromagnets to selectively weaken and strengthen connections .The cubes are powered at the base and transfer data and power through their faces. The control of machine is distributed among the ....etc
