Abstract
Disclosed herein is a modular robotic system, and methods for configuring the robotic module. The robotic system includes a first housing comprising a first processor and a first connector, a second housing comprising a second processor and a second connector, the first connector of the first housing being connectable to the second connector of the second housing in a plurality of orientations relative to one another, where the first processor and the second processor are configured to communicate with one other when connected in any of the plurality of orientations

A robotic system comprises:
- a first component comprising a first processor and a first connector;
- a second component comprising a second processor and a second connector;
- and
- a skin connector configured to couple the first component and/or the second component to attach a shaped cover;
- wherein the first connector of the first component is connectable to the second connector of the second component in a desired orientation relative to one another, wherein the first processor and the second processor are configured to communicate with one other when connected in the desired orientation.
A robotic system comprises:
- a first interlocking toy system comprising:
- a plurality of pieces configured to interlock with each other via a first interlocking mechanism;
- a second interlocking toy system having a second interlocking mechanism comprising:
- a first component comprising a first processor, and
- a second component comprising a second processor, the second component interoperably connected to the first component, and wherein the first processor communicates with the second processor to send receive control signals or sensor signal therebetween;
- and
- an interface configured to couple, via the second interlocking mechanism at one face, the first component and/or the second component, and couple, via the first interlocking mechanism at another face, at least one piece of the plurality of pieces of the first interlocking toy system at another face to allow interoperability between the first interlocking toy system and the second interlocking toy system.
A method for configuring a robotic module comprising a processor, the method comprising:
- connecting the robotic module to a first housing;
- and
- assigning, via the processor, an identifier to the robotic module, wherein the identifier is configured to identify a type of the robotic module, a number of the robotic module, and/or a location of the robotic module with respect to the first housing.
