Modular Robots: extending the capabilities of one robot

TL;DR

This paper explores modular robot design to enhance versatility, enabling robots to perform a wide range of tasks across the 4 D's of Robotization by adding specific modules.

Contribution

It introduces a modular approach to robot design that allows for adaptable task performance, moving beyond specialized robots.

Findings

Modular robots can perform tasks in the 4 D's of Robotization.

Adding modules extends robot capabilities significantly.

Modularity facilitates transition from specialized to general-purpose robots.

Abstract

For a robot to be perfect and enter the everyday life of humans,like computers did, it needs to move from special-purpose robots to general-purpose. So, the idea of modularity is considered in this project.Thus, any type of task that falls in the 4 D's of Robotization: Dull, Dirty, Dangerous and Dear can be achieved by adding a module to the robot.
