Abstract
Disclosed herein are a robot capable of recovering from a failure of one of a plurality of symmetrically structured modules, and a recovery method thereof. When a hardware or software failure occurs, the robot recovers by itself by replacing the failed module with another corresponding module. Accordingly, resources of the robot can be more efficiently utilized.
Claims14
A robot comprising:
- a plurality of modules substantially symmetrically structured;
- and
- a recovery unit recovering from a failure generated in any of the plurality of modules by another modules symmetrically corresponding to the failed module.
A robot comprising:
- a plurality of component parts;
- and
- a recovery unit separating a failed one of the component parts and replacing the separated part with a new part.
A method to recover a robot, comprising:
- diagnosing a failure of one of a plurality of modules substantially symmetrically structured;
- and
- replacing the failed module using a symmetric corresponding module.
