This paper presents a mobile UVC disinfection robot designed to mitigate the threat of airborne and surface pathogens. Our system comprises a mobile robot base, a custom UVC lamp assembly, and algorithms for autonomous navigation and path planning. We present a model of UVC disinfection and dosage o…
This paper presents a decentralized control frame-work for lattice-based Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robots (MSRR) which utilizes a novel magnetic fiducial system to facilitate neighbor identification and to enable algorithms which promise scalable functionality for systems with many modules. In thi…
This paper presents the mechanical design of a modular robot called the 3D M-Block, a 50mm cubic module capable of both independent and lattice-based locomotion. The first M-Blocks described in [1] could pivot about one axis of rotation only. In contrast, the 3D M-blocks can exert on demand both for…
