Abstract

We present a configurable modular robotic system which is suitable for prototyping of various robotic concepts and a corresponding simulator which enables evolution of both morphology and control systems. The modular design has an emphasis on industrial configurations requiring solidity and precision, rather than rapid (self-)reconfiguration and a multitude of building blocks. As an initial validation, a three-axis industrial manipulator design has been constructed. Evolutionary experiments have been conducted using the simulator, resulting in plausible locomotion behavior for two experimental configurations.
