Remote Tools Using Wireless Communication for Self-Recon gurable Robot, Applied to maam Project

This paper presents, first, the maam project which is a self-reconfigurable robotic architecture where each module is autonomous for energy and CPU. To develop a new concept of robot requires to bring answers to the general questions of displacement of the modules, docking. This is why we focus here on the high level tools, built on a middleware including wireless communication. We show how such tools can decrease the duration of development, and facilitate the technology transfers
