Flexible Transfer System with Self-Reconfigurability
- A modular type of two-dimensional transfer system composed of many modules with self-reconfigurability.
- Self-organization of transfer paths suitable for the current
physical configuration of transfer modules based on local
information of each modules.
- Achievement of coherent relationship between control strategy and
physical configuration through coevolutionary process.
