It shows the design considerations for a novel REPLICATOR robotic platform, both hardware and software, featuring the behavioral characteristics of social insect colonies. Following a comprehensive overview of some of the bio-inspired techniques already available, and of the state-of-the-art in re-configurable modular robotic systems, the book presents a novel power management system with fault-tolerant energy sharing, as well as its implementation in the REPLICATOR robotic modules. In addition, the book discusses, for the first time, the concept of “artificial energy homeostasis” in the context of a modular robotic organism, and shows its verification on a custom-designed simulation framework in different dynamic power distribution and fault tolerance scenarios. This book offers an ideal reference guide for both hardware engineers and software developers involved in the design and implementation of autonomous robotic systems.Adaptation, Learning, and Optimization,1867-4534 ;17RoboticsAutomationComputational complexityArtificial intelligenceBiomedical engineeringRobotics and Automationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19020Complexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XRobotics.Automation.Computational complexity.Artificial intelligence.Biomedical engineering.Robotics and Automation.Complexity.Artificial Intelligence.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.629.892Qadir Raja Humzaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut720655MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299853203321Self-sufficiency of an autonomous reconfigurable modular robotic organism1412410UNINA
