Abstract
This is a brief overview of studies in the field of modular robotics. We formulate the aim and problems of the development of the functional–modular principle of heterogeneous mobile robot construction. We describe the main principles of the construction of an information–measuring and control system (IMCS) for the robot. We propose to use a network-based IMCS of the modular mobile robot. This concept is based on the functional completeness of each module, which is an electronic and/or mechatronic device with its own control system.
The research is partly supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, grant 16-07-00811a.
Key words
