Scalable Plug-and-Play Robotic Fabrics Based on Kilobot Modules (Supplementary Material)

The attachment contains:

• Straight motion experiment: 16 videos of the robotic fabric tested on 4 sizes (3x3, 5x5, 7x7, 9x9), 2 types of links (spring and rod), and 2 controllers (open-loop and deformation-correcting) [mp4]
• Turning experiment: 14 videos of a 7x7 robotic fabric tested on 2 types of links (spring and rod), 2 turning directions (left and right), and up to 4 turning radii (1m, 2m, 3m, infinite (for left turn)) [mp4]
• Object manipulation experiment 1: 2 videos of a 4x4 robotic fabric tested on 2 types of links (spring and rod) [mp4]
• Object manipulation experiment 2: 1 video of a 5x5 hollow robotic fabric tested on spring links [mp4]
• Variance of the tracking errors exhibited by 7x7 robotic fabrics attempting to turn at a constant rate using the proposed probabilistic open-loop controller for four radii of curvature (i.e., 1m, 2m, 3m, and infinity) for both types of links [pdf]

The videos are sped up by 30x.
