Abstract: This paper describes a hardware design of connection places for an automatic detection of a newly connected module and detection of its orientation for use in the self-reconfigurable modular robotic system. It also describes a mechanical design for an energy and information transfer between modules in the system. This paper also describes testing of an automatic detection with a graphical display of the results for an actual shape of a newly created kinematic structure of the system.

Abstract: This paper describes process of an experimental evaluation of the necessary torque for disconnection of a magnetic connection mechanism. The paper describes basic information of a designed testing stand for an experimental evaluation of mechanical parameters of the automatic connection mechanism based on magnetic principle for use in self-reconfigurable modular robotic system. Also describes processing of measured values. Obtained values were then used in a mechanical design of the testing connection mechanism for verification of its other parameters.
