TL;DR: The mechanical design and system architecture are introduced in detail, followed by a detailed description on the locomotion modes, and the conducted experiments validated the proposed approach and the ability of the Scorpio platform to synthesise crawling, rolling and wall-climbing behaviours.

TL;DR: In this article, a deep learning-based pavement inspection framework for self-reconfigurable robot named Panthera was proposed, where SegNet was adopted to segment the pavement region from other objects and CNN was used to detect and localize pavement defects and garbage.

TL;DR: This research is aimed at the development of a glass facade cleaning robot, capable of adapting to any kind of building architecture, and proposes a nested reconfigurable design approach forGlass facade cleaning and develops a system of robot modules that performs glass facade cleaned.

TL;DR: A novel application of Tromino tiling theory, a class of Polyomino with three cells in the context of a reconfigurable floor cleaning robot, hTromo, is presented, able to automatically generate a global tiling set required to cover a defined space while leveraging on the TRomino tiler theory.
